I've received an NIP from a back-of-white-van-camera telling me to confirm driver details. It says they have photographic evidence I was doing "in excess of 70mph" (on motorway), but I would have thought they should tell me what speed I'm accused of ?

Is this the correct procedure ? i.e getting my details before telling me the detail of what I'm alleged to have done ?

Sorry if this is an old thread (can't find in forum search)

Fill in all the required details, but dont sign that nip.
Unsigned nips are inadmissable in court. Case dismissed! Read the article posted by Ted on this.
Good luck!

I heard they closed that loophole. Apparently, you have to never verbally accept that it was you either or they use that as admission.

Or am I mistaken?

Presumably if you get an NIP in the post you won't have had a chance to admit your guilt verbally?

haven't filled it in or spoken to them. It says "you MUST sign". But if that's not important I'll take the advice
