NIP letter received by company 28 days days after offence
By: jshell97 Date: December 11, 2025, 1:26 pm

Hi
I’m looking for abit of advice, I was recently caught speeding
in a company long lease hire van on the 13/11/25 they have me on
a personal insurance through the company so only I am insured on
this but the van is registered to our office and in there name.
My office has only just received the NIP today (11/12/25). The
letter from the local police force is dated 08/12/25. I’m
wondering do I have a case to appeal this as it is out of the 14
day period it states online that it has to be served.
Thanks

The police have 14 days to send the NIP to the registered
keeper. So who is the registered keeper?

The registered keeper would be my company as it is a company
van, I’m just the sole insurer on the van that they pay for.
I’ve tried looking online about it and everything’s abit of a
grey area, I don’t fancy going to court and getting hit with
more than 3 points and a bigger fine if I don’t have a strong
case

Many people swear blind that they’re the registered keeper but
aren’t. Have you checked the V5C (and are the details correct)?

This seems to indicate that your employer leases he van and that
they are probably not the RK.

I must have been wrong on the long lease side as they are saying
we are the registered keeper and have a V5C with our details on

If I was going to stick two fingers up at the cops (and forego
the chance of a course or fixed penalty) I’d want to see the V5C
myself. But you do you.

Obviously if I was going to appeal I would want to see it for
myself which i have already asked for, but the question I was
asking is if I have a strong case to appeal

Leaving aside that you’re not appealing… yes, if the NIP to the
RK was over 14 days. Otherwise no.
