Cumbria Speeding Ticket

Hello,
I was driving a Merc Vito to Ukraine and was recorded doing
70mph on the A1 dual carriageway section, totally forgot it
might come under van speed limits 😡
Anyway I received the NIP and responded with all the required
information and received a Proof of Postage from the Post
Office. Today I received another letter from them stating that
they have not received any response to their first letter. I
have a dated proof of posting slip. Should I fill in the form
again that they resent me, or can I tell them it has been
returned with the required information and I have proof of
postage?
Thanks

For the purposes of the police sending out a NIP or incorporated
s. 172 requirement, proof of posting creates a rebuttable
presumption of service - which is rebutted if the court finds
that the notice was not delivered. The requirement only being
satisfied when the notice is actually delivered.
It would be surprising if posting alone satisfied the
requirement to provide the information for the return leg.

OP, if they're giving you another opportunity to provide the
info, the pragmatic course is to do so rather than get into an
argument. I'd be inclined to post it (with proof again) and then
phone them after a few days to make sure.
BTW are you sure it's Cumbria?

Sorry, it was Northumbria.
