This question is not a mechanical one but I thought someone on here may be able to answer it all the same.
The question concerns NIP forms (Notice of Intended Prosecution forms) and specifically what would happen if a motorist got caught on either a speed camera or traffic light camera and the NIP form got delayed (e.g. because of a postal strike) or even lost in the post. I am going to assume that the likelihood of the NIP getting lost altogether in the post is so small that I do not need to worry. However if there was a postal strike, do you know how long something in the post might get delayed by before it reaches its destination (what timescale days or weeks) ?

Thanks alot

All that the agencies have to show in court is that they took reasonable steps to serve the registered keeper of the vehicle with the n.i.p.by leaving it or posting it to the keepers last or usual address within 14days of the alleged offence. If you are personally reported by a police officer for an n.i.p offence, then the officer should give you a verbal n.i.p. at the roadside or wherever you are processed. It obviously can become quite farcicle, say for instance that the vehicle has recently changed hands etc. If you think you were done by a camera then always ask for the photographic evidence and once you get the photo decide from there what you intend to plead.
