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

Arse, felt particularly hard done by it. I was about 10ft from a Derestricted sign with the Van in the 60 Zone but evidently catching people accelerating prematurely. I remember seeing him thinking what a Scumbag blatantly there for no purpose but to raise revenue since it is in the middle of nowhere I wonder whether he got me. The answer evidently is yes.
Not that it really has any relevance since it has been correctly pointed out the speed limits do apply from the sign not from when you can see the sign Having GoogleMapped it quite clearly was more than 10ft before (and in answer to the question above I didn't jump 13mph from 11ft to 10) this is where it was taken

You will see the lack of Houses and general middle of nowhereness, it is a Road I know fairly well and would have started accelerating round the corner knowing that I passed the last house some while ago and it was changing to 60 and frankly should have done so 50ft earlier what that 30Mph sign does is give plenty of notice for cars coming the other way because there is a very tight bend that you really do need to slow down for coming down the Hill. The Camera Van was in the Layby on the Left you can just see in the distance.
Not that it is any defence because I was bang to rights but just trying to explain why I feel it has squat to do with Road Safety and is nothing more than a cynical attempt to scam money from the Motorist - not that I didn't think that before anyway.
Not sure how to edit that I thought I was looking at a Street View of the B3420 Winchester Road after the Hairpin heading toward the Deristricted sign whereas what seems to have come up is a Map of Wherwell

Has to be the layby on the right (looking back towards Wherwell).

It was indeed there, I was coming round the Left Hand Bend Leaving the Village, stupidly I actually saw the van for several seconds and didn't make the connection to brake since I was looking at the Deristricted Sign at the Same time and thought what a silly place for a Van who whould be doing 60 heading toward the Village when there is a Hairpin Bend round that Corner. Of course by the time I had clicked that of course I must still be in the 30 and therefore it was pointed at me it was too latehttps://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=wherwell&hl=e...
