I recieved a Notice of Intended Prosecution for my company car 14 days after the offence. Do I have to supply details?

FAQ

I recieved a Notice of Intended Prosecution in respect of my company car 14 days after the offence. As I’ve received the NIP outside the mandatory 14 day notification period, do I have to supply details of the driver?

There is a great deal of confusion about time limits for the receipt of a Notice of Intended Prosecution. The only obligation on the part of the Police is to serve the Notice on the registered keeper of the vehicle within 14 days of the offence. The registered keeper is the person and/or company whose details are held on the DVLA database. As this is a company car, the likelihood is that the registered keeper is either your employer or the lease company who supplied the vehicle. In those circumstances, you need to see a copy of the NIP that was sent to them as the likelihood is, it was served within 14 days and therefore valid. In those circumstances, you must reply to the Notice served on you and failure to do so is a further offence.
