N.I.P. question

[loftylad]

Hi

Got pulled by an unmarked video car the other day. Was given a N.I.P. but nowhere on it does it say what I was pulled for!

I was overtaking (obviously broke the limit whilst doing so) and then went back to the limit and was then pulled.

I thought it had to say the speed you were actually doing somewhere on the (a-e) section on the N.I.P.?

Any thoughts ?

Ta
Lofty.

Nope

The Notts NIP's just want to know who the driver was that exceeded the limit, not by how much. They tell you that at either CoFP or court papers

[SS2.]

Weren't you told at the scene what you had been pulled for, in the form of a verbal NIP - 'You will be reported for consideration of the question of prosecuting you for the offence of [excess speed]'.. ?

If so, there is no requirement for a paper NIP to be issued at all.

Oh, well. Worth asking. Thanks for that.

It was obvious I had been stopped for the quick overtake, although I can't remember an actual "verbal NIP". I just got the paper one.? I just thought the speed had to be on there somewhere.?

Afraid not. There is nothing statutory which provides that a NIP (which refers to an offence of excess speed) must specify the speed alleged..

Nuts, then.
