NIP

[infinicar]

All,

I have this morning received a Notice of Intended Prosection from Warwickshire Police.

The date of the offence was 17th April 2004 - the date on the NIP is 7th May 2004.

I was under the impression that they had to be served within 14 days?

Any advice appreciated.

Regards
Paul

Correct. However, the 14 day rule only applies to the first NIP in the chain; the one to the registered keeper.
Even if you are the RK, but have only recently become so; e.g. because you only recently bought the car, it is the RK details as per the DVLA records that count. That said, in such a case, the previous keeper should still have been served with it within the 14 days.
