If you are the registered keeper of the vehicle and the ISSUE date on the Notice of Intended Prosecution is more than 14 days after the offence, then you can reject it. This only applies if it is dated more than 14 days after the alleged offence. If the NIP has been issued too late, then you should return it to the Process Office stating that you reject it because it is time barred. Bear in mind that if you are not the registered keeper, the NIP may have originally been issued within time and sent to the keeper.

I got off once when a nip didn't arrive. Was summoned to Marylebone magistrates for failing to identify the driver. There was a postal strike over the period in question and there were about 30 of us all due for the beak that morning. The prosecutor took each of us into a side room before and asked why we didn't respond - and threw it out there and then. Got off the speeding too. In that case there was an element of doubt with the posties walking out but it showed that unless the NIP is sent recorded or hand delivered, it's hard to prove it was recieved (not sent). Christmas post is notorious owing to the strains on the system around now....

What is the 14 day rule?

The 14 day rule relates only to the period of time in which the Police/Process Unit must serve the original Notice. The Police do not have to prove that the Notice reached its intended recipient within 14 days, merely that they believe that it arrived, but there may be a defence available if the intended recipient can convince a Court that the notice did not arrive in time or at all. In many cases, the registered keeper will be a lease company not the actual driver, with the result that even if the driver is unaware of the incident, service of the Notice is good if it was sent to arrive at the registered keeper's last known address within 14 days of the offence.

Your bike-curious 'friend' should be very wary of how he handles anything that drops through the letterbox. One false move and he'll be getting bummed into the middle of next week by the prosecution.

For a nick of that proportion it would certainly be worth considering failing to identify. 6 points being better than 6 weeks etc..
