Speeding ticket notice 3 months after

Louis.A

I just got a speeding ticket notice dated 14th of June regarding something that happened on 21/03/16. The letter doesn't state the speed, only that it was over 30 in a 30 zone. I recall reading somewhere that they must reply within 14 days. If this is true how do I go about appealing?
Thanks

That 14 days is to contact the Registered Keeper assuming you were caught by a camera, not a PC (when the 14 days doesn't apply at all)


Pepipoo is the best place to get advice on this

Is it requesting details of who was driving the vehicle at the time of the alleged Incident?

Who's details are on the V5?

As said above, the 14 day rule only applies to the first NIP, which is normally sent to the registered keeper.

However, any request to name the driver is valid regardless of that, so you must reply.

Are you sure that it's an official NIP and not just a letter sent out by the police because your car was caught over the limit by one of the neighbourhood watch civvy speed watchers?

I always though the S172 letter had to state the speed that the vehicle was measured at.

No. The offence is simply exceeding 30 mph (or whatever), and the speed is of no relevance to guilt or otherwise.

If the matter comes to court, the speed will probably be stated as it becomes relevant in sentencing.

In fact AFAIK there is no need for the speed to be measured: the opinion of two police officers that the limit was exceeded is enough.

Ah, looks like I'm stumped with it then. Thanks for all your comments
