  • NIP - Photo not legible

    Hi, received a NIP for an alleged 57 in a variable speed limit (50). I've looked online (Greater Manchester Police website) and there is a single photo, 400x300 pixels with a header across the top 1/3 then the remaining 2/3 split into 4 quadrants showing some cars with yellow lines across the picture, another taken a bit later, then a photo showing the variable limit, then a blank. The compound picture is of such low quality that nothing is identifiable, can't even make out the variable speed limit sign. What are my options here, I've emailed saying I can't recognize anything in the picture and to ask for a higher resolution image.

    Many thanks in advance.

    What are my options here,
    You don't have any options here. The police have no obligation to provide you with photographs or any other evidence at this stage. You are only entitled to that if you are prosecuted in court. They may respond to your request for better images or they may not.

    At this stage all you are being asked to do is to provide the driver's details. You must do this within the 28 days allowed and failing to do so will see you commit a separate, more serious offence which carries six points, a hefty fine and an endorsement code (MS90) which will see your insurance premiums rocket.

    The driver will almost certainly be offered a course for that speed, provided (s)he has not done one for an offence which occurred in the three years prior to this one.
