    Don't worry when you moved you set up a royal mail redirection for the next 12 months so you would receive all your post to your new address.

    You mean you haven't informed the relevant parties of change of address?
    One month of re-direction is not really enough, DVLA and insurance should be advised as soon as possible, certainley not weeks after the event.
    Anyways aart from that I can't help with what you should do, as it could open a can of worms :(

    call the police and ask them what to do, shouldnt actually be a problem tbh with you, dont just leave it and see what happens though, or you'll eventually get a letter telling you that you have court, or even worse, a knock on the door telling you that youve missed court

    Thanks for the replies, It was the only thing we had forgot to change, called the police and not a problem, just said to call ticket office on Monday with
    New address.

    You were pulled over at the roadside. Did they ask for your name and address?

    It's only camera offences that go to the registered keeper's address.
