Read the document and provide the required driver information using the method on your notice. A possible NIP timing issue does not remove the separate Section 172 duty. If service or the driver identity is disputed, seek advice promptly.
Identify your document and next step
No account or upload. Check the relevant date privately.
Protect the response deadline
- Check the addressee, response instructions and service date.
- Provide the required information by the deadline without guessing; obtain advice promptly if you cannot identify the driver.
- Keep the notice, envelope, response copy and proof of submission.
