Anyone help with traffic law? Notice of Intended Prosecution

[User856391]

Hello :)

Was wondering why some offences do not require an NIP.

I know they're issued for speeding/running red lights/careless driving and I read one of the reasons is so everything is still fresh in their mind hence served within 2 weeks, but how comes then does that not apply for other offences? I.e use of a mobile phone/driving uninsured?

Does this help?

In brief one is not needed when being caught for the offence is, of itself, sufficient notice that prosecution is likely.

Ah of course, that makes perfect sense! Thank you for the link. That was really informative :)
