NOTICE OF INTENDED PROSECUTION (NIP)
The law requires drivers are given a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) as a warning they may be prosecuted for a motoring offence. You cannot be convicted of certain road traffic offences unless you have been warned that the question of prosecution would be taken into consideration by way of a notice of intended prosecution (Section 1 Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988). This document must be issued within 14 days of the date of the offence. It can also be given verbally by the police at the scene of the alleged motoring violation.
The most common instance where Notice is served is a NIP for speeding but they can also be issued for:
- When the police do not know who the driver is. For example, if a car registration has been captured by a member of the public, a police officer or on camera, i.e. at a red light
- When police have been unable to stop a driver at the time of the incident
If you have received a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) and require expert legal advice or representation, call Brian Koffman & Co. We offer the very best privately funded defence representation to all motoring offences, including Notices of Intended Prosecution.

Thanks so much 100% recommend to anyone looking for representation
Originally we were looking at a potential driving ban, a minimum sentence of community service, plus a fine and interviews with the traffic commissioner. On the day of the hearing the Crown Prosecution wanted all of the former, which would have meant the end of a driving career and the loss of livelihood.
On the eleventh hour and fifty nine minutes literally as we were walking into court, Brian managed to secure a deal with the prosecution which led the judge to serve up five points on the licence and a fine, all of the other charges were dropped.
Such a massive relief after nearly a year of worry and angst. If you need a solicitor that specialises in motoring offences Mr Koffman is the man you need, so ring him. I mean it ring him!
Thanks to Brains excellent representation, I won my case, keeping my licence and was rewarded £750 towards my costs.
Would highly recommend
Cheers
Nick
Excellent legal advice, excellent and professional customer service, outstanding legal representation. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending them to anyone who needs their services.
My sincere regards to the entire team at Brian Koffman&Co Solicitors
Both himself & his assistant were both very helpful and very reactive to both phone calls & email.
I had no prior experience of attending court, however Brian made me feel at ease as to what to expect.
The case in which I was involved, was quite complex, however his professionalism and attention to detail made sure I received the best possible outcome.
I would recommend him to others
Should you require assistance with a driving offence Brian is the person to hire.
Professional, meticulous, leaves nothing to chance.
Thank you Brian
Results from this would have been:
Banned from driving
Loss of job
Loss of house
Wedding cancelled
Honeymoon cancelled
The results would have ruined my life.
One email and meeting with Brian and all this was sorted. Completely stress free and both him and his assistant were amazing.
Couldn't rate them high enough
Thank you.
His knowledge is this area is amazing and the the advice he gave me put my mind at rest and made me hopeful that he could resolve the case without me receiving a ban.
Due to covid back log the case was very drawn out but the moment I heard from the courts, Brian was at the other end of the phone and he remembered my case every time, which shows a great personal touch. You wouldn’t get that with a large firm.
Brian managed to resolve the case with reduced points and I am extremely grateful for his help as a totting up ban would have been catastrophic for me.
He was brilliant during what has been a very stressful 8 months.
With a very frustrating case and my case management hearing date changing dates a number of times to my actual trail date changing dates a number of times, Brian was professional throughout and assured me throughout, it was clear from the start brains knowledge and professionalism was going to help me, after nearly three years of this case dragging out we finally got the trail date, and the outcome was outstanding, Brian is in the process of claiming some of my legal fees back which will also be a massive help for me, I couldent recommend Brian enough and would not hesitate to contact again if I needed to, thankyou brain.
Thank you Brian.
Brian decided that the best route to take would be to enter a plea of exceptional hardship. He explained everything clearly and guided me through the process whilst reducing the considerable stress I was under.
His efforts secured me the best possible outcome. Not only did I keep my licence, I also received the lowest possible fine.
I can't recommend Brian highly enough and would urge anyone in similar circumstances to contact Brian Koffman & Co Solicitors without hesitation.
Thank you Brian.
It was my first experience of having a penalty of this nature and was looking to instruct a solicitor to gain some advice on the best steps.
He was incredibly blunt and rude. He compared my enquiry to the likes of a doctor seeing a patient with no knowledge of the symptoms? Despite me being on the phone to answer any questions regarding the offence in question.
Completely bizarre and rude, with him then hanging up on me.
He is such a brilliant lawyer. He made me win the case. He is very professional, honest and an experience lawyer. I do highly recommend him. I’m giving him 5 stars. Thanks a lot.
In recent months Mr. Koffman has dealt with everything associated with my Fathers case from phonecalls to documentation ect.
Upon first meeting Mr. Koffman explained in detail what repercussions my Father could face as a result of his driving offences, following our understand Mr. Koffman immediately turned his attention to how he could help.
With afew meetings and several telephone calls a decision was made on how to proceed, following this Mr. Koffman travelled to us in order to attend court & won our case!
I cannot recommend him enough, everything was done to perfection and no stone was left unturned.
5* absolutely.
If ever you have a motoring issue Mr. Koffman is the man to see.
We have already recommended him to friends and will continue to do so.
Thank you again Mr. Koffman
He got me the outcome I requested and I couldn't recommend him or his services highly enough. I chose him from his excellent google reviews just like this one, and now can see why he is so highly regarded!
Thanks again Brian.
Hopefully, I never need to use you again, but if I do, you will definitely be the solicitor I use.
Thank you again for helping me.
Brian, thank you once again for all your hard work which in turn gave us the best possible outcome.

NIP STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS
The NIP must comply with some statutory requirements including the identification, location and date of the said offence. It needs to provide enough information to enable the driver to know exactly what he is supposed to have done. If the NIP is not completed properly it may mislead and could prejudice a defence. It is also important to check the date you receive your NIP as late service of one is a complete bar to a prosecution. We would advise checking the date stamp on the envelope if you believe it to be outside the 14 day period. A driver cannot be convicted unless the procedure is complied with properly, but you must nevertheless respond to the NIP.
If you have received a NIP you are required to identify the driver of the vehicle. You must do this within 28 days and if you fail to do so, you have committed a further offence for which your licence can be endorsed with 6 penalty points and a fine up of £1,000 imposed unless you can show that it is impossible to comply despite your best reasonable and diligent enquires to establish the driver’s identity.
