Online database for NIPs or S172

Why there is no gov database (based on the V5C) where the
registered keeper of a vehicle can check if/when a NIP has been
issued by the police and everything is entirely based on mail?
I don't think it would be a very complicated thing to do and it
will massively help in a lot of cases, e.q mail being lost,
delivered to wrong addresses, mail being intercepted , drivers
not able to check their post due to holidays or being away with
work etc.

Because the civil service are too busy with DEI.

The DVLA might be (slowly) heading in this sort of direction.
You can now set up a "DVLA drivers account" whereupon your cars,
to which you are the registered keeper at the same address as
your DVLA licence, can be added by you to the account.
You can also opt in to only get the annual vehicle tax
notification by email. I tried deliberately leaving it till the
last day to retax the car and got several reminders by email and
text - so it certainly works.
I can see the OP's suggestion being another sensible step in the
process.
Mind you there is already a problem with email's being missed by
those getting lots of them as the scroll off the first page. I
manage a small association and have found that annual
subscrition notices delivered by post have a far higher payment
rate than annual sub's notices delivered by email.
