Licence saver?

[Tom59]

I have just found this Licence Saver on a pop up page.
It is of no use to me, but someone out there may be glad of it!

That's a nasty sales page with popups and stuff, I really wouldn't advise anyone to go there.

A complete load of rubbish, save your money. If you ever need advice on a ticket, FPN etc, pop over to pepipoo.com.

I was told by a cop not to respond to the NIP, the reason being it is sent by normal post and it is the cops responsibility to prove to court beyond reasonable doubt you received it and as so much post go's missing and it is sent out by normal mail you wouldn't receive any follow up after the first warning letter which they would also have to prove that they delivered to you I would use this advice at your discretion and I look forward to Tommos response, and ofcourse I dont speed anyway

, use that advice at your peril! There is no such requirement to prove receipt, proof of postage is sufficient. An NIP has to be 'sent' within 14 days of the alleged commission of the offence. Even that isn't set in stone as the officer may have given you a verbal NIp at the scene. If that occurred then the time limit of 14 days does not apply.

Failure to respond to an NIP will result in prosecution for failing to provide driver details.

I think the procedure is to send another at 28 days if no response has been received. However legally, if it can be proved that the first NIP was 'sent' then that is sufficient, lost in the post is not a defence.

I wasn't going to get involved in this post, because there are so many other sites with advice,, 'loopholes' and procedure.

However for what it's worth, below is a quick cut and paste of exceptions that apply to the 14 day rule.
As for the "don't reply to a NIP" school of thought. This was first touted under the Human Rights Act, it has now been closed by legislation from what I was told. If you don't reply, then you can be summonsed for 'failing to notify details of keeper'.



Exceptions & Get Outs

a) No such notice is required if a full or provisional fixed penalty notice has been given or fixed under the Provisions of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988
b) A notice sent by post must be dispatched so that it would reach the driver within the 14 days within the ordinary course of the post. If this is the case then it will have been deemed to have been served even if it is delivered outside the 14 day period.
c) If there is an accident involving the vehicle in question, of which the driver is aware, then the police do not need to provide a Notice of Intended Prosecution.
d) Failure to comply is no bar where the police could not with reasonable diligence have ascertained the name and address of the accused in time for service of the summons or notice within the 14 day period, or the accused contributed to such failure. [These are our highlights - might apply for example if you drive a hire car, company car or you were not the registered keeper]
e) Service of a notice at the last known address of the accused will suffice for good service.
