Speeding Fine?

[MrsM]

If you receive a speeding fine in the post it comes with a leaflet stating that it is their duty to send it to you within 14 days of the offence. So if you receive notification 35 days after the offence do you have a case?

If you can prove when you recieved it, then yes!

MrsM, this is an area of the law that's a bit "grey" to me.
I believe the law states they have to ISSUE a notification of intending prosecution within 14 days, and not for the person to RECEIVE it within 14 days, Unless you sign for it they have no proof when or if you received it. I believe if they can prove they issued a notice of intended prosecution within 14 days then you can be prosecuted. Like I said, it's a bit of a "grey" area.
If it came normal 1st or 2nd class mail, discard it, they may send another.. throw that too.. or reply telling them you never received anything before and you've no idea who was driving and ask for a photo.. If you can see it is YOU then admit the offence.. if not, ignore it.
