   I'm not sure if i mentioned this at the time, but i am now. On 18 January i was clocked at 70 in a 50 on the m8 to a720 ediburgh bypass dual carriageway by a mobile camera. I did not get the ticket until 2 months later as it went to the previous owner and the garage.

i went to this site pepipoo and took advice. I waited 28 days and returned the form unsigned. a month later i received it back asking to have it signed. i did not return it. i received another and sent it back unsigned. I was told that they have 6 months to get me to court otherwise the ticket becomes invalid. 

Details of the time scales

Your NIP took substantially longer than 14 days to reach you due to the convoluted nature of the route it took.  It's dated 17/3/05, and you had 28 days to respond; taking you to 14/4/05.  Add six months to that and you're looking at 14/10/05 to get you into the dock for a pleading diet. 

This is the comment from one of the forum moderators: -

You're off the hook!  It's timed-out. 

Well i have not been summonds and this means i have not be prosecuted. I hope this thread is not the kiss of death but some advice. 

Just thought i would share this for those who may receive an NIP in the post. I believe you can do the same with tickets handed to you as well.
