NIP has wrong location
By: Alam1968 Date: August 16, 2025, 8:15 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi, on the 31st of July 2025 I allegedly was caught speeding 25
in a 20 mph zone on the NIP the address is Baker Street London
NW1 however as I drive a taxi I was on a Taxi app job of which I
have proof I was in Victoria SW1
I have submitted evidence myself. My vehicle was on a taxi job 4
miles away. They have to respond by the 21st of August
I am still within the 28 days to return the NIP
We have passed the 14 days for them to send an amended NIP
What will happen now?
Will they cancel it because of the error on the NIP or will they
be pushing to go to court?
Any help appreciated
Thank you
I hope I’ve posted this in the right place

Let us know - I don't think anyone here can tell you what their
next move is. Depends on the facts they believe.
I would be concerned about a cloned plate rather than their
'error'?
Have you seen any pictures? If they believe a cloning then they
may ask for you to to supply photos of your own.

Not cloned plates, the pics I can see my pink shirt but not me.
There is a video but there not letting me see it.
The 21st is the ( within 10 working days to reply ) date of the
evidence submitted.
I believe they haven’t changed the location on the camera prior
to setting up somewhere else

Who has got to reply within 10 days? And for what purpose? What
happens if they don't reply?
I'm asking all this because I'm puzzled. I've never heard of
anybody having to reply within 10 working days to anything and
I'm not sure where this fits into your problem.

If you challenge before sending the NIP back they ,the police
will get back to you within 10 working days, before you have to
send the NIP back within is 28 days
I challenged the NIP based on I was not where they said but 4
miles away

It seems you've raised a query about the allegation rather than
challenge it. There is no right of challenge to a NIP or a s172
request for driver's details. At this stage the police do not
even know who was driving. I think you have been somewhat
optimistic.
You have an obligation to respond to the request regardless of
any issues you may have with either the NIP or the offence
itself.

You can raise a query on the portal
My query is I wasn’t where they said
I still have until 30/08/2025 to return the paper who was
driving.
I don’t want to return to early because it states I was driving
on that occasion which I believe will incriminate me

Note that the 'query portal' says they aim to respond within 10
working days .
Personally, I’d be trying the phone number for a more
interactive discussion.
There may be a disparity between timestamps. Whether you were
at the claimed locus or not would be critical to your response.

You seem to have the wrong idea about this.
You cannot challenge a NIP. It is simply a notice informing you
that a prosecution is being considered.
What is of greater importance to you is the accompanying
“request for driver’s details”. Unless the police formally tell
you that action against you has been discontinued, you must
respond to this. If you fail to do so you commit an offence
which, on conviction, carries a hefty fine and six points. Any
details of the speeding allegation, including the possible error
with the location, then become irrelevant.
The police might respond to you before you are due to reply to
the request or they might not. As above, they only aim to
respond within ten days. They have no obligation to do so – in
fact they have no obligation to respond at all.
In my view, what you need to do is to respond to the request by
saying that your vehicle was not at the location mentioned at
the time specified so you cannot provide them with the details
they require. Do his either on the form provided (if there is an
appropriate section) or by means of an attached letter.
There is no point in delaying this. If the police do respond to
your query in time they will either say the matter has been
discontinued or they will still require a formal response to
their request. If they don’t reply in time you will have to
respond anyway.

New judge

I will reply with attached letter within 28 days if I don’t hear
from them
Trouble is I already filled out part of the back of the letter
