Speeding fine- posted to wrong address

Hi

I was flashed doing 38 in a 30 zone and have been awaiting the ticket. 14 days has passed, which is good news, however my post occasionally is delivered to the flat below me, which is currently inhabited by tenants that I have a very bad relationship with. I wouldn’t be confident of any post they receive being handed back to me. 

Is there any way of double checking that a fine hasn’t been issued?

Thanks!

    This is a parking forum but you are in luck; if you post on a site called Pepipoo, they will be able to give you the advice you asked for.  Do not try to register on their site with a Hotmail address, for some reason the site does not like them.

    Mind you you may be poking a hornets nest, at least 50% of speed cameras are not in use, there are for example none in Northamptonshire that are operational, (apart from SPECS) in a village near me there are two of the latest digital ones, one of which has nothing in side it at all.

    You could email the DVLA and ask which organisations (when and for what reason) accessed the registered keeper's data from them between a range of dates which includes the date of the speeding event (the Police won't be informed of your request). You need to provide the registered keeper's full name and address, the address on the V5C logbook and the Vehicle Registration Mark of the vehicle involved in the incident.

    This service is free of charge. 

    Even though you email your request, the DVLA will respond via Royal Mail.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

  • Also check that you have got the vehicle registered on the current address,(and driving license). Quite a few people move and either just change the driving license  and not the V5, one does not alter the other.
