If you have received a notice of intended prosecution, you should seek legal advice straight away. A notice of intended prosecution (NIP) is the police letting you know that an offence has been recorded and they intend to prosecute the individual responsible for the offence. The NIP is usually issued within 14 days of the offence taking place. If you have received a notice of intended prosecution, you will also receive a request for driver information. You, as the registered keeper, are legally required to provide the driver's details at the time the offence took place. Details must be completed and returned within 28 days of the request. If you fail to do so, you could be charged with failure to supply information. For further information contact our specialist motoring offence lawyers on 01772 220 022 or submit an enquiry here.
