New car (to me!) and scamera

[defblade]

I may have got scammed this morning (Friday 15th Feb)*. I bought the car 2 weeks ago on 31st Jan, and so far as I know the garage sent the V5 straight off, but I've not received my copy yet.

Would this mean that I have longer than 14 days to await the postie with NIP, or can I sleep easy in 2 weeks time as usual?

• Yes, I was probably exceeding the speed limit as it's a very wide A road. I was paying attention to the road rather than the speedo! But not silly fast as it's a new-to-me big estate as opposed to my old 325 which I might have been driving a tad or two faster I slowed having seen the van and by the time I was at a reasonable distance, I was certainly under the limit..... but I know they work at unreasonable distances ie zapping me as soon as I appeared. Most annoying thing is Mr 50mph, who I had just got past maybe 1/2 a mile before, came right up on my boot trying to carry on at 50mph in the next 30 limit, but where do they put the vans?

If you were 'scammed' and not stopped and given the verbal NOIP or FPN then the SCP would interrogate the DVLA Register.
What name was on the Register at that particular moment would be sent the NOIP within 14 days (less day of offence).

In the fullness of time, if your name was not on The Register, NOIP outside the 14 days will arrive but because SCP sent NOIP to what was recorded as Reg Keeper then no let out.

Ahhhhhhh the exuberance of a new motor......what will she do?. A £60 3 Point exercise eh?

Sadly, new motor is much larger and heavier than the old one, has a smaller engine and an auto box rather than manual. Build and ride quality are much higher tho. I really was just cruising along a wide, sunny, dry, empty (having disposed of Mr 50mph) A road. Fingers crossed it was less than 10% +2 actual and they're standing by the guidelines. If not, oh well, and sounds like I may as well just forget about it until it arrives, rather than counting down the days.

The exuberance of my old car on the other hand......
