Hi folks,
Just want to make sure everything is above board with this ticket. Not my ticket, so posting on behalf of someone i know.
Offence was 4th August, 37mph in a 30mph zone. Stopped at roadside and given yellow ticket (NIP??)
So the offence is NOT in dispute.
4th November (3 months after offence) driver/owner received the attached letter.....
Im assuming because the driver/owner was stopped roadside, that was the NIP, so therefore the 14 days is not relevant.
No awareness course was offered!
Today 4th November, driver/owner called the force and questioned why they had not offered an awareness course, the person replied that they was working through a backlog of tickets and the reason an awareness course was not offered is because of the time frame in the police in sending the ticket out to driver/owner.
Driver/owner said that couldnt be their fault for that and politely asked if they could issue an awareness course, person at end of said they would try and send one in the post.
So more than anything, just wanting to make sure all is above board in terms of the ticket issue etc
As it stands ive advised driver if an awareness course does turn up in the post to take it with both hands.
If not, ive advised to pay the £100, take the 3 points and chalk it up as a lesson in life.
Thanks for any advice offered.
