Sending back speeding NIP loophole
Discussion
Utter tosh
"The 14 day rule relates only to the period of time in which the Police/Process Unit must serve the original Notice. The Police do not have to prove that the Notice reached its intended recipient within 14 days, merely that they believe that it arrived, but there may be a defence available if the intended recipient can convince a Court that the notice did not arrive in time or at all. In many cases, the registered keeper will be a lease company not the actual driver, with the result that even if the driver is unaware of the incident, service of the Notice is good if it was sent to arrive at the registered keeper's last known address within 14 days of the offence."

I know I should never trust pub talk, but someone said last night he successfully got out of a speeding ticket by sending back the NIP unopened with the words 'Found in street, return to sender' on the envelope. A new one arrived obviously over the time limit.
True or utter tosh?
Take a wild guess! (and try a Google search on the subject of NIP deliveries!)True or utter tosh?
Think about it - If it were that easy then everybody who ever received a NIP would do it, forcing the authorities to change the way they deliver NIP's.

Whilst we can all agree that the "found on street" scenario is nonsense what is valid is returning the letter saying that as a sovereign member of your own state and country you are not bound by the Laws of the land of the United Kingdom.
I hear this also works for income tax and parking fines
