How late can you receive a NIP and it still be valid

Just had a Nip through the Post for an offence on the 10th August (43 in a 30) it is however dated 9th October. I thought they had to be sent within 14 Days to be valid? is this correct?

It was for a Car that I had bought a few months before and sold shortly afterwards so this may account for the delay as it probably went to the other Owner, does this make a difference?

If the car was correctly registered to yourself at the time of the offence it is worth consulting a solicitor regarding the late NIP. Should be within 14 days from what I have always understood.

What I'm getting at is that if the Scamera Partnerships key the reg numbers of their "customers" into the MID and the RFL databases, it would be more productive to send the boys round and do the guilty for all three offences instead of just sending a bill for the speeding - if the cameras did something about those offences it might help their image or it might not, but it won't do anything to harm it.

Having said that, I don't approve of speed cameras and genuinely believe that they are simply cash-machines. I have a great deal of respect for our police and would be more inclined to accept the key points of a telling off AND to modify my behaviour when dealt with by a professional, instead of after getting a bill in the post. As for the "victim surcharge", who was the victim of my 80mph on a dry, quiet motorway? Did they get the cash? Can I check?

I think you see the "victim" every day in the bathroom mirror.
