Anyway, the evidence is all there, it was down to me and 3 other drivers and I was the I my one who wasn't in a tachograph vehicle or had already finished.
Okay, but what about the warehouse staff, etc., who you said all could have been driving the vehicle? How were they eliminated from this inquiry, given the lack of any record-keeping system in place at the time?If the evidence you've finally been given satisfies you enough to accept that you were driving at an "out-of-character" excessive speed in the middle lane, then so be it.

What was the date of the offence?
Does the '6 month rule' apply in this kind of situation?
12th July, apparently.Does the '6 month rule' apply in this kind of situation?
Yes. Which is why I asked how long he has to reply. If possible then the reply should be posted by Signed For mail to arrive after the deadline to institute proceedings.
The warehouse staff etc. were all also discounted due to their clocking out time or the fact they were logged on to computers or our voice system, forgot to mention that, it really was a very conclusive list.
As for the outcome not being what I wanted, well it kind of is. Obviously I would have preferred it if I wasn't the driver but I believe that this has made them take notice of their record keeping and the rather cocky manager has had a b
king. I've done what I felt was right.
NIP says 28 days from the date of the letter, which is the 20th of Dec.

Is it being suggested that if you can avoid admitting who the driver is for 6 months, (as long as you reply to each NIP within the timescales), that there can be no prosecution?
I'm surprised the six months in this case has gone by so "quickly". Somebody wasn't keeping their eye on the ball, and gave the OP and his company too much time to respond...agtlaw said:

2 questions...Did you follow the above instructions?
Did that mean you got away with it?
