for any one who might still be interested I recieved a letter on the 27th of October from the police saying they have completed their investigation and no further action will be taken. Thanks to all those who contributed to my thread. Best wishes and Happy new year to every one.

Read my topic http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/motoring/266580-notice-intended-prosecution.html I didn't hit any one and didn't do anything wrong yet I have recieved a similar letter from the police. This is outrages, these people who make false claims should be taken to court.

Thanks for your interest in my topic. no news, I haven't heard a single thing from them yet. I contacted them and they confirmed they have recieved my papers and it's still under investigation. but this is taking very long, I hope they are not busy preparing a case for court.

Ok, many thanks for all of you who have responded to my thread. I have returned the required documents and awaiting their response. I will update you on the out come.

No I have stated everything here fully and honestly, by the way I was delighted to find out that they claim the incident occured on 3 roads which is totally untrue, it should make the person who made the accusation (presumably the other driver) look much less credible. The reason I look at the negative side too much is that this is the first time in my life I have been put in a situation like this , i have never been stopped by police or questioned or had to deal with them for anything at all. I just don't know how the process works.

Say i get taken to court, considering my clean previous record and no injuries or any damage was cauaed, what do you think the puniahment will be. Many thanks

If it was a police car shouldn't have had some sort of flahing lights indicating it wants me to give way, he had full beam on consistently which could have dazzled me and that is definitly ilegal to do. He also provoked me by (when he over took me) he stayed in the middle of the two lane blocking and not allowing me to get past him. I just had a nother look at the NIP again and I found another interesting piece of info, it has names of 3 roads on which it alleges I was driving dangerously on, however the incident took place on only one of them. I was still in sight of the car on the other two but we were at least 10-15 cars apart at all times.

I also thought it might have been the other driver, he might have done this to cover his back in case I made a complaint against him. I have 3 witnesses who were passengers in my car and they will testify that the other driver initiated this. he is a lot older than me, so he might look more credible should this go to court, thats the only thing I'm afraid off. what do you think the sentencing will be, say if i lose in court. I also don't see how they can take someone to court simply based on a witness's account, am hoping the case will be dropped because I really don't like having to deal with court even though I do feel innocent, i just don't like the hassle. many thanks

Basically 4 letters have come, 2 of them are application for name and address of driver, the second 2 are the NIP. this is how it goes: the driver of motor registration: xxxx is alleged to have committed an offence of dangerous/careless driving at location xxxxxxxxx between 10:00 to 10:34 hours at xx/xx/xx date (they say the duration of the offence was 34 minutes) I changed the night time to day time for privacy. they want name and address of the driver who was driving the car at the time which was me. that was the application for name and address of driver. then the other 2 letters which are the NIP say consideration is given to take proceedings against the driver for comitting one of more of the following offences. (driving danerously) the box is marked but section 2 and 28 under it are unmarked. driving without due care (section 3 and 29 under it) are not marked. then it says this is not neccessarly an indication of prosuction , but law requires them to send this within 14 days of the indicident etc etc. it doesn't say anything else. it looks like a template that has been filled, there is no explaination of what is the accusation about and why. many thanks

Would they have put it on the NIP if they had CCTV evidance or police officer's evidance? and what do you think the maximum penalty will be? Considering I was provoked and I have a clean record. Many thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot for your advice. I think I should speak to the officer in charge of my case first and see if he can tell me what sort of proof they have against me. Only problem is he has taken the week off and I have to wait until next week to speak with him. Time is just not going fast enough

Hi all, It's my first time posting here so please bare with me. I have just recieved an NIP accusing me of both careless driving and dangerious driving. The accusation refers to a few nights ago when I was coming home on a road which had national speed limit of 70 MPH. I was on the fast lane and there was a car behind me which was tailgating me with full beam on. I got a bit annoyed as he had full beam on and was driving really close to my rear, I slowed the car down to about 40 and moved to the slow lane, he wouldn't back off and kept on tailgating me. I changed lanes a few times but he wouldn't back off still. After a bout 15 minutes of me slowing down and picking up speed to get rid of him I gave up and stopped at the hard shoulder and that is when he left. The NIP doesn't say where they have obtained their information or anything of that sort, and the dangerous driving box which has been ticked under it there are are two more boxses one says section 2 and the other section 28 none of them have been marked. same goes for the box which says careless driving (section 3 and 29), none of the boxes under it have been marked. I have being driving for almost 4 years with no convictions and/or any other criminal offences of any type. I would really appriciate some suggestions here and any idea what might happen. I seriously do not want to go to prison for 2 years as I read on the internet the maximum penalty is. Thanks, P.s. I truly didn't think what I did was careless or dangerous driving otherwise I would not have done it.
