(asked on 20th July 2015) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what guidance her Department has published on the timely notification by police services of notifications of intent to prosecute in incidents of motoring offences.
This question was answered on 7th September 2015
Section 1 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act (1988) requires a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP), specifying the nature of the alleged offence and the time and place where it is alleged to have been committed, to be served within fourteen days of the commission of any alleged offence. The Home Office has not published any guidance on this issue.
