Re: Section 172 notice for careless driving

Just an update, i returned the filled in 172 form with a cover
page requesting more information if possible about the incident,
as it had been so long i had no idea what it was i was supposed
to have done. I also questioned why i hadnt had a NIP for the
offence. I am yet to hear back from them at this point and
wondering whats going on. Im gonna just wait and see and have
tried to stop worrying about what happens with this one. If i
get any update in terms of a reply from TVP then ill pop a reply
on. At this point the offence runs out in november as it will be
passed 6 months by then....but realistically i should hear back
before then unless something drastic has happened.

I doubt you'll get a NIP as they don't know who the driver was
until you tell them by completing the s172 grassing yourself up.

Aye, the time for getting a nip is long past, hence why i asked
in my cover letter why i never received one. Im just wondering
what's going on as i returned the 172 info weeks ago and had no
reply. I guess no news is good news, will just wait and see what
comes of it. As i mentioned the stl for the offence runs out in
november.

Ok i had a reply from the tvp traffic office. They shared the
footage with me and it wasnt where they said it was, it was
further along where theres a long straight. Im shown overtaking
the cam car behind another vehicle. We both over take and move
into the space. I then pull out and overtake that vehicle
aswell and another infront of him and go out of view. They
stated in the email that i made oncoming vehicles have to take
evasive action with careless overtaking. My driving didn't
effect the cam car or any on my side btw and from the footage i
didnt see any issues from other side. The road i was driving
down is a very wide single carriageway with a straight for
around 300m. Hence why people use it to overtake slow moving
traffic.
Anyway i digress. They have stated they have reviewed the case
and will just be offering a warning letter and case complete. Im
very relieved and even though i think the whole thing was a
waste of time, ive decided to calm down my driving anyway. I no
longer overtake as much as i used to and have more of a chill
approach to commuting and long journeys. As any car i overtake
could have a dash cam, so why take the risk footage will be sent
in and have this stress.
Thanks for comments and help given, im glad this is all sorted
and my license remains clean.
