Late NIP

Just had a NIP for an alleged incident in february. Obviously this is way longer than 14 days after the fact so what do I do next? Do I need to send a letter of some kind saying bugger off? Is there a form letter I can use?

I dont have it with me but the date on the letter is about a week ago.

The car in question is in my name, the offense is exceeding the 50mph limit by the M4 toll bridge before the toll booths (From my dim memory I think it was a camera van parked on the bridge).

Thing is exactly how do I do that, just a letter saying "I dont want any more points today thank you. Regards Badgerpoo"?

One of the reasons I suspect for the 14 day rule is so you can accurately determine who was actually driving the car at the time. Since my car is shared between my girlfriend and I, I cannot say for certain who was driving the car on any particular day. In that case who should get convicted? This creates reasonable doubt and is therefore impractical to convict. Unless of course you would like a society where even if there is reasonable doubt people should get convicted anyway..?
