Here it says there's still a time limit for the NIP even when it's not just for speeding but for careless driving. http://www.motordefencesolicitors.co.uk/knowledge-Guides/n-i-p.htm Unless I'm reading it wrong it's still required to be sent within 14 days of the offence. Now my recent NIP was months after the alleged offence, the accident was 26th July and the NIP is postmarked 18th November. Does this invalidate NWP's case ? -- Steve Parry BMW R80RS, BMW R45, 03 BMW R1100S Boxercup, 07 K1200GT SE 95 BMW F650, 87 Yamaha FS1, Sukida SK90PY, 91 Kawasaki AR50, 07 VW Passat SE Estate for comfort www.gwynfryn.co.uk
From the same page: Exceptions Notice of intended prosecution is not required where a full or provisional fixed penalty notice has been given or fixed; or **if you were knowingly involved in an accident at the time** I would suggest that you don't get your hopes up. Sorry.
Damn ... selective blindness On a good note the brief called Xmas eve to tell me not to be at court for the first hearing as it's just a formality? -- Steve Parry BMW R80RS, BMW R45, 03 BMW R1100S Boxercup, 07 K1200GT SE 95 BMW F650, 87 Yamaha FS1, Sukida SK90PY, 91 Kawasaki AR50, 07 VW Passat SE Estate for comfort www.gwynfryn.co.uk
Plod attended the scene, didn't they? You were cautioned before they spoke to you, I guess? You admitted that you were riding the bike? That's them covered. The time limit is only for those offences where you were spotted by a camera etc but not stopped by plod. The time limit allows the registered keeper of the vehicle to legitimately say, "it was ages ago, how the **** do you expect me to remember who was driving the vehicle."
I'm fairly sure II wasn't cautioned at the scene, I know I wasn't breathalysed, which surprised me as I'd figured everyone in a bump got a breath test. All I can recall from my interaction with plod at the scene was the rider of the stealth bike telling me off for riding the ZX home. -- Steve Parry BMW R80RS, BMW R45, 03 BMW R1100S Boxercup, 07 K1200GT SE 95 BMW F650, 87 Yamaha FS1, Sukida SK90PY, 91 Kawasaki AR50, 07 VW Passat SE Estate for comfort www.gwynfryn.co.uk
Blimey. N Wales plod in procedural inefficiency shocker. You want to hope/arrange that he has a stroke and cannot give evidence in court that identifies you, then. Keep sending high cholesterol doughnuts to his house.
they didnt caution me nor darsy when we got stopped some time ago. you can argue the point and its your word against theirs.
Nope, all I can recall him saying was moaning about me riding the bike home from the scene. -- Steve Parry BMW R80RS, BMW R45, 03 BMW R1100S Boxercup, 07 K1200GT SE 95 BMW F650, 87 Yamaha FS1, Sukida SK90PY, 91 Kawasaki AR50, 07 VW Passat SE Estate for comfort www.gwynfryn.co.uk
Cheers Nige, brief has now told me that I don't need to attend on Monday as it's just a formality to arrange a day in the future for the main event -- Steve Parry BMW R80RS, BMW R45, 03 BMW R1100S Boxercup, 07 K1200GT SE 95 BMW F650, 87 Yamaha FS1, Sukida SK90PY, 91 Kawasaki AR50, 07 VW Passat SE Estate for comfort www.gwynfryn.co.uk
Don't worry. If you forget being cautioned, I'm sure he'll 'remember'. You'll find that it appeared magically in his notebook, after the event.
those two were clueless cunts[0] in any case[1]. [0] well, they were from Manchester - what would you expect? [1] "do we have a fixed penalty for undertaking?"
Andy was telling me the NI licence worked well in this occasion? God bless the Shinners if they are keeping licence harmonisation at bay. Have you seen this shopfront on Upper Newtonards Road? slightly amusing murals. www.forcodandulster.co.uk
Don't think there was a car there, the fireblade was and was the only trafpol who spoke to me I think -- Steve Parry BMW R80RS, BMW R45, 03 BMW R1100S Boxercup, 07 K1200GT SE 95 BMW F650, 87 Yamaha FS1, Sukida SK90PY, 91 Kawasaki AR50, 07 VW Passat SE Estate for comfort www.gwynfryn.co.uk
yes - I got a large fine, but they were unable to put any points on my NI (EU) license. that's brilliant.
