I am now the proud owner of my very first NIP courtesy of the chimp 46 in a 40.

At first I thought the usual "pay up and shut up" but I went to see where the alleged offence took place according to the NIP and its right on the edge of a 40 zone before it goes to 50. Middle of the countryside, no junction, no schools, no pavements just a few sheep, a couple of cows grazing (I know they stand up on their hind legs again as soon as I'm out of sight a la Far Side) oh and a pig.

So now methinks this is especially harsh, predictably.

I fill in the details within the timescales and decide that I really am innocent until proven guilty so would like to see the evidence but there's nowhere on the NIP to request a looksee.

I attach a note to the NIP stating that whilst I am compliant with the requirements by returning the details it is NOT an admission of guilt and want to see the evidence and so withold my signature in order that the case does not get automatically processed.

There is a slight aside here cos I saw the lovely van really early and made sure I was under the 50 limit it was in. It was parked off the side of the road obscured by a hedge and was low down so IIRC if my pic has my ugly mug on it - blah blah data protection, human rights blah blah (could be a straw worth cluching at).

Any views would be much appreciated - after all of this it may well simply be a case of 'you're nicked'

Your probably better off posting this in the speed, plod & law forum, they're used to dealing with this sort of query in there
