What happens next...
- Following the detection of an alleged traffic offence, a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) is sent to the last known Registered Keeper within 14 days of the alleged offence. This is the keeper as shown by the DVLA at Swansea.
- The person the NIP is addressed to MUST respond to the NIP. The NIP must not be passed on to someone else to complete.:
- If you were the driver of the vehicle at the time of the alleged offence and this notice was addressed to you, go to the 'I WAS DRIVING' Tab on this website and complete the relevant details. Alternatively, complete and sign Section A of the NIP and return it to the address provided.
- If you were not the driver, go to the 'I WAS NOT DRIVING' Tab on this website and complete the relevant details. Alternatively, fully complete Section B of the NIP and return it to the address provided.
- If the vehicle has been sold a response must still be made using the 'I WAS NOT DRIVING' Tab
- Once the nomination is received, we will post a new notice to the nominated person.
- Once a driver admission is received:
- The driver will, if eligible, automatically be sent an invitation to attend a Driver Training Course. They will also have an option to pay the fixed penalty or request a court hearing.
- If not eligible for a course, the driver will be sent a Conditional Offer of a Fixed Penalty. They also have the option to request a court hearing.
- In some circumstances, the driver may not be eligible for a Driver Training Course or a Conditional Offer of Fixed Penalty. In these instances, the matter will be dealt with via the court process.
- Please do not contact this office to ask what happens next or to request a course. The next stage will be sent in the post, and you will automatically be offered a course, if you are eligible.
