Safe Speed Forums

I received an NIP this morning with the following:

Exceed speed limit 30mph (Manned camera), (30mph) at 10.27 on 06-SEP-2006. Vehicle speed 41mph.


I am the registered keeper of the car, but do not drive it myself. I have been unwell with a a severe anxiety disorder for a few years and am driven around by various people when needed. It is 35 days since the alleged offence and I have no idea who was driving. I've asked a couple of people it could be, but both say they don't think it was them and cant remember that specific day. My sons friend was also over from Japan around that time and drove me a couple of times, but I can't get hold of them to ask.

The form is asking me to let them know if I was the driver and if not, who was etc.

I have contacted the number on the form to ask about the 14 day thing [Noticed that online today]. They say that they sent the form to the previous owner within the 14 days as DVLA gave them that name instead of mine, so that doesn't apply. I did only buy the car on 8th August this year, but the details should have changed by then. I have no way of proving that one way or the other.

Because of my disability I am now panicking and am absolutely terrified. I have absolutely no idea what to do.

Can anyone help with any advice?

Many thanks

First off Jayne, dont panic, if it was not you driving.
You have not done anything wrong, but the "system" is bullying you all ready, as they really need the money.

Get yourself over to Pepipoo here for some free legal advice. Make sure you give them all the details you have to date, regarding the NIP, the time it has taken, and the time you notified DVLA.
I suspect you will need to view the photographs to see who the driver was.
Check too that you have not allowed somebody to drive the car who was not insured.

Keep us posted here - I'm sure somebody else will be along with anything I have overlooked at this late hour!
