Hi all, Following on from me showing off on Dingys' post the other day about my clean licence
I recieved a NIP today for on my way to "Ten of the best".Proper gutted, I won't say where it was, just incase "Big Brothers" watching, but I'm gonna fight it, on a few accounts.
1. I've allready sent this email:-
"I have recieved a NIP (ref:-********) as I am the registered keeper of the vechile.Although your NIP alledges the vechile was travelling at 52 mph, it doesn't say what speed limit the motorway was restricted to?Please could you inform me what the speed limit was that day, and also send me a copy of the "photographic and/or video evidence" that you alledge to have so I may see who the driver was to assist me in the filling out of the form.
Thankyou,
Mr A Harriss"
2. If that fails, I'll use the "where is my right to remain silent" box to tick on the form, even Fred west was given the right to remain silent, so why can't I?
3. On the form it says "UNDER SECTION 172 OF THE ROAD TRAFFIC 1988 YOU ARE REQUIRED TO SUPPLY THE INFORMATIONREQUESTED WITHIN 28 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THIS NOTICE. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION ON THE REVERSE OF THIS NOTICE AND SIGN IN THE APPROPRIATE PLACE"
Isn't that putting me under duress? which I do believe in our civilised country we live in, is illegal?
4. If a suitable picture of the driver is not produced, I remember that day I picked up a hitchiker, who showed me his details proving to me he was insured fully comp to drive any vechile. I'm sure he drove on the section of road they quoted, but as I dropped him of at his required destination, I don't have his details to give.
Now the only important bit is I have to move fast as the form must be filled out in 28 days, that is the only stumbling block I have. I'll keep you all informed of the ongoing saga, I've done this 3 times before and won each time, hopefully I'll do it again.
and before anyone says you shouldn't speed, I agree, I regularly see the effects of speeding, but I have done driving courses alot better than the advanced driving course that uses alot of the Police Advanced Roadcraft course skills, I think 52 mph was a suitable speed for that section of motorway for the "alledged" driver to of been doing, am I a cocky bugger? Oh yes, and I'll be using this to my best advantage over the next 28 days!
Andy
