Doing 42 in a 30, first time ever!!
DIR By: farenheit

I know another post r.e speeding over the specified limit.
I'm not even sure what happened, I'm thinking a van may have
been parked and took the reading.
As for the paper work, what do I cover up before posting on
here? P.S the vehicle is registered to someone else, someone
else was the driver and the correspondence was received by the
registered keeper regarding the above alleged offence.
Does the driver just take the course and be done with? Also is
this online as they work during the week?
Also just to add, the alleged offence took place on the 09th
August 2023 and the NIP is dated 05th October 2023.
Thank you

Who is the Registered Keeper? Did they receive a NIP within 14
days? Who was driving? Where do you fit in to all this?
I'm afraid I find your account a bit jumbled.

Thanks for the reply,
I was just being cautious with the information.
I was the driver and the car belongs to my brother who is the
registered keeper.
He received the nip today 08th October 2023. So outside the 14
days.

OK, is he absolutely sure he's the RK? Does he have the V5C in
his hand, and are the name and address correct? Any change of
car or address in the recent past?
It is very (vanishingly) rare for the first NIP to be sent
outside the required time limit. It usually turns out that the
car is leased etc., and the 'owner' is not in fact the RK.

1. Is he absolutely sure he's the Registered Keeper? YES
2. Do he have the V5C in his possession, YES
3. Are the name and address correct? YES
4. Any change of car or address in the recent past? NO
He has advised me V5 was issued on 10 of August.

So he wasn’t the RK at the time of the offence?

So the first NIP - the only one subject to the time limit - must
have gone to whoever was RK at the time of the offence.
No defence for you there.

Fair enough.
Just to clarify, I can go ahead with the re-training?
Also, is online an option for this?
Does it make a difference that he acquired the vehicle on the
13th March 2023 which it also states on the logbook?

No because until the change was processed by DVLA then neither
they nor the Police would have known. Why did it take so long,
just out of interest?

Where I live an online course is the only option. I'm doing one
next week.
But "online" doesn't mean you can just log into it and do it at
any time you choose.
They're proper courses with other participants hosted via Zoom
that you have to book in advance. I may be wrong, but I suspect
they may only be scheduled Monday to Friday, 9 to 5.
You'll have to wait to see what you're offered after your
brother has identified you, and you've received and returned
your own s172 request.
You need to have completed the course within 4 months of the
original offence. (Or that's the case round here anyway...)
