    Have you ever heard of anyone being fined for such a thing?

    Hi Im just worried if I change my address now they'll realize I didnt change it before and fine me for that??As I would have to explain why the fine was sent to and old address.
    Although I appreciate that the general consensus here is to change it on my licence asap...
    I spend far too much time on these motoring forums, as well as a long history in and around the motor industry in real life. I've never heard of anyone being prosecuted for that. It just doesn't happen.

    "They" can't fine you - they'd have to take you to court. Everyone concerned has much bigger fish to fry!

    I didn't change my licence address for 30 years.  Any correspondence of this sort went to our old family home where my mother lived.  Don't sweat it, you were still contactable at your old address.

    If you are that worried about it, and you are still able to access your mail from your old address, simply see this through using that address. Then, after this has been concluded, change the address on your licence.

    Nobody dealing with your speeding matter will particularly care, so long as you respond to the correspondence in a timely manner,

    Hi I have one more question about changing my address on the driving licence. Should I change it from today or last year when I moved in? 
    Hello too many points just saw your message thankS
    There is a box to tick about previous address on their site though

    From today, don't confuse the issue.  Have you sorted the V5C too?
