10 days NIP rule - have I got this wrong?
Discussion
Gents,
I remember hearing a while ago about a law that states that a Notice of Intent to Prosecute has to arrive on your doormat within 10 days of being trapped by a speed camera. I might have got this wrong.
A mate (honestly!) was clocked at 60 in a 50 on June 4th and the NIP arrived on June 20th. Do we have a leg to stand on?
If so, does anyone know the exact rule or how to cite it?
Cheers.

Guys,
Thank you for that.
Doing my maths, he will be right on the edge. So there should be a 'date posted' on the NIP somewhere.
I'l get him to check that.
One thing I have thought, though, is that the police do this day in, day out. They are not beginners when it comes to prosecuting people for speeding, so they have probably got it right this time.
Worth a try, though, isn't it?
