Speeding notice

[SonicSW20]

DVLA response times for information are typically pretty good. It would be a very unfortunate series of events if the PNC did not have correct data for the OP's registration, police were timely in asking the DVLA for information, but the DVLA took weeks to provide it. Its much more likely that the police were simply tardy in issuing the NIP and are taking a chance in hoping that OP doesn't know the limitations on the serving of a NIP.

OP should cover that angle off by submitting a subject access request with the DVLA ASAP, which will tell him which parties have accessed the record for his registration.

An unfortunate series of events like say...A global pandemic?

Lockdown didn't start until 11 days after the alleged offence, thats a weak excuse.

I never said lockdown. People have been getting ill long before that.
Businesses were closing long before that.

Doesn't matter though, the rules still say it has to be issued within 14 days.

The bottom line hasn't changed here - if what the OP has told us is 100% true and there are no mistakes regarding the dates of offence on the NIP, then it will be a slam dunk win for the OP.
However, as has been said - only the first NIP has to be received within 14 days, so if this is indeed, for example, a lease vehicle, the NIP would have gone to them first - possibly even a finance company before that.

If you have a read over at Pepipoo (sorry guys - I am in no way an expert, never claimed to be, never will - but some of the posts in this thread, really....OP should have gone to Pepipoo first) you can read many, many threads where somebody has made a statement very similar to this one, and on further investigation the V5c isn't in the posters name, the details haven't been updated after a house move, the vehicle has had private plates put on. The chances of a NIP arriving just a day or so late are unlikely, but a month late...... really does point at this NOT being the first NIP in the chain.

if the op knew he had been at that location in the last 14days and was speeding QED - date clerical error
they could produce the photograph of him driving, in court, too, with the right date.

You don't read too well, do you? It doesn't that's the whole point of the last 2 pages of discussion.

@stoofa has it right

The exceptions don't apply though. The police have instant access to the DVLA database and selling the car or changing address hasn't delayed it.

This is very relevant and correct to my knowledge.
