NIP

Bang to rights..........caught fair and square in the cage on 18/11/06, 40mph in a 30 zone......just one piddling, measly, mph over the SW Police prosecution threshold

No conditional offer in the letter, just the "confirm you were the driver" form, so there is some very faint hope I suppose. Maybe 1 in 1000.

However, I'm resigned to losing my licence's previously clean status.

One word.........bollox.

Oh no! Thats a shame. Will you incur any other penalty? A fine or anything?

Does having points on your license make it harder for you? Like, i know some jobs require a clean license?

there maybe be a glimmer of hope. I got caught doing 53 in a 30 ( i was late for work and about 10 yards from it changing to a 60 limit) and i got the same letter through. I sent it off.... now 2 1/2 years down the line i've still not heard anything.

All I've had is a NIP. No conditional offer, etc, as yet.

I'm expecting 3pts and £60.

Not really, first offence since 1988............so all I will have is 3pts out of 12. I do require my car/bike for work but this won't affect that.

I'm more cross with myself than anything else Mrs Jabba is laughing about it - she wouldn't have been if I'd been on the bike........ any excuse to have a dig about it!

I sure hope they got the car in front of me.......it was going a lot faster than me before it turned off to the left. It was only at this point that I saw the talivan.......

Like I said, fair cop. I know the rules and I got caught breaking 'em.

That's a fair bit over the 6 months........I reckon you're safe

I'm going to fill the form in now and hope that they let me off for being good about it.........

You get the NIP first, when you send it off saying it was you driving the car. Then once they've got the NIP I expect you'll get a 2nd letter with the conditional offer in it.
