Why is it that whenever people get caught speeding / running red lights there's an excuse? Temporary traffic lights... Hmmm
Another thing SS, you've got three points for speeding right? You got them because the camera was 'hidden' behind a tree, right?
Noooo, you got caught speeding because you were...speeding.
And you're what, 20? So you've got (at most) three years of driving experience. I don't mean to sound condescending (but I will anyway) but that's hardly a long time.
You're dad probably got caught jumping the red light because he wasn't paying attention, and was going too fast to stop safely when he realised that the light was red.
Regarding the 14 day limit for sending an NIP, it works as follows. The police force responsible for the area in which the offence was committed must send the notice out so that it has a reasonable chance of arriving with the registered owner of the vehicle within 14 days. In practical terms this means that the Police can wait up to 13 days after the offence to send the NIP.
On receipt of the NIP the registered owner has 28 days in which to respond, either admitting guilt, denying guilt or providing the details of the driver of the vehicle. The lease company would have responded within 28, from which the Police have another 14 days to notify the driver of said vehicle.
As to what your dad can do. Short term, probably nothing (he may be able to get his company involved to write a plea to the court but they may not be prepared to do that, and even if they do it probably won't change the outcome).
Long term (if & when he gets his license back) he could try slowing down, driving with his eyes open, not running lights and generally being more aware.
