It can if its post marked after the 14 days!

It sounds like you know this already and this was just a typo, but I'm just pulling it out for clarification in case somebody at a later date looks up the thread and reads it as gospel.

The first NIP has to be served in time, it doesn't have to arrive at all!

It doesn't have to be delivered and it doesn't have to be forwarded at all.

Lost in the post? It has still been served in time and is valid.

Re: forwarding - The recipient would be expected to return it within 28 days stating that they had sold the bike on, then the NIP would have to be re-issued to a new owner/address. It's not forwarded on.

UPDATE!

Chris got his licence back yesterday with the 3 points and a receipt for the £60 fine. All done.
