A Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) is issued by the Police to the registered keeper of a vehicle involved in an alleged speeding offence.
This article is not legal advice and The Ministry of Injustice does not condone speeding or breaking the law. The alleged loophole may also be complete nonsense !
You have 28 days from receiving the NIP to provide the name and address of who was driving the vehicle at the time of the alleged offence or to provide any information which may lead to the identification of the driver.
Under Section 172 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 , it is an offence not to comply with the NIP (six penalty points and a maximum £1,000 fine on conviction) if you fail to provide the requested information.
Magistrates’ courts ‘could’ grind to a halt if thousands of motorists exploit a legal loophole unwittingly exposed by a Welsh driver.
Magistrates had no choice but to find Phillip Dennis, of Whitford, Flintshire, not guilty of speeding when his case was heard on Thursday.
He had omitted to sign the standard form which is sent to the owner of each vehicle caught by a speed camera – and Mold magistrates said they couldn’t accept the form as evidence.

Upon checking, there is no mention of a legal requirement in Section 172 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 to have to sign the NIP…………
We recommend you should always seek formal legal advice if required, from a qualified and reputable lawyer (solicitor or barrister).
