NIP received after 14 days
By: KE100 Date: November 12, 2025, 4:52 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Good morning,
The registered keeper of the car (my partner) received a NIP
dated 19 October for an alleged offence on 26 September. I was
the driver so they provided my details within the 28 day period.
I have received a NIP and responded to confirm my details and
that I was the driver. All within timescales. As the NIP was
originally dated 19 September and this is over the 14 days can I
ask for my case to be dealt with in the Magistrates' Court? Do I
have a case?
Many thanks
Kelly

Are you 100% certain that your partner is the RK, have you seen
the V5C document in their name. Is the vehicle leased perhaps?

Regardless of the facts, or even if the "facts" are fiction, you
can ask for the case to be dealt with in the Magistrates' Court,
although that "option" is mostly psychological marketing - there
is no need to actively request that the case be dealt with in
the Magistrates' Court, if you are offered an out of court
disposal, such as a COFP, and you do not accept it, it is then
up to the police to instigate court proceedings.
To clarify, you are telling us that your partner is the RK of
the vehicle in question, and that the alleged offence was on
26/09/2025 and that his NIP was variously dated 19/10/2025 (24
days after the date of offence) and 19/09/2025 (7 days before
the date of offence).
You have also avoided telling us the nature of the alleged
offence, or anything else that might indicate whether a NIP
would be required.

The magic 8 ball says "Outlook not so good"
We are reliably informed that for an initial NIP to be issued
outwith the 14 days requires a manual over-ride. We have been
unreliably informed that in this case your partner is the RK.

Apologies, for the typo on the second date saying 19th September
as this would rightly be before the event. The offence was
travelling 35 in a 30 zone and it was a camera attached to the
traffic lights as previously this was a traffic light camera
only but the road has changed from 40 to 30 in recent times. I
will check the V5C as the interesting point that the NIP would
have to have a manual over-ride to go out over 14 days.
To clarify:
The registered keeper of the car (my partner) received a NIP
dated 19 October for an alleged offence on 26 September. The
offence was for speeding - exceed 30 mph on restricted road in
England - automatic camera device; Speed 35 mph. I was the
driver so they provided my details within the 28 day period. I
have received a NIP and responded to confirm my details and that
I was the driver, within 28 days. All within timescales. As the
NIP was originally dated 19 October and this is over the 14 days
can I ask for my case to be dealt with in the Magistrates'
Court? Do I have a case?
As with the above, I shall check the V5C and look to see if it
is leased.

Also check that the address on the V5C is correct and current,
and was so at the time of the offence (that the date after the
DocRef. No. at the bottom of page 2 of the V5C is before the
date of offence).
If he doesn't have the V5C in his possession with his correct
and current details, to all intents and purposes he is not the
RK.
No need to reply to this post until you either have the V5C in
your hand or have accepted that he is not RK.

Thanks all,
I have verified that this is a lease car through work so not the
RK. We have checked with the paperwork we have. It didn't occur
to him that he was not the RK!
This has been helpful.
Thanks
