    Well it's an expensive lesson learnt.

    If you had some evidence you may have a legal comeback, unfortunately you don't so time to move on.

    Proof of delivery costs

    But proof of posting doesn't.

    And you don't need proof of delivery.

    Proof of sending it is all that is legally required.

    Many people think that it's recorded delivery or nothing.

    If you had attended court you could have made an application for the penalty to be at the equivalent to the FPN rate, which was originally offered but you couldn't comply with for admin reasons (the licence not being received).

    As you didn't do that, I think you would have to appeal against sentence which hardly seems worth it for the few pounds involved.

    Were you not offered a Speed Awareness Course, or were you ineligible for that ?
