Notice of Intended Prosecution - Speeding Offence

[spenni331]

Hi,

I have received an intended notice of prosecution through this morning and wanted to clarify a few things.

Unfortunately i was caught doing 73 mph in a supposed 60mph zone, although this was a dual carriage way national speed limit zone. I assumed the speed limit would be 70mph, as i was driving in an area that I don't live. My first speeding offence since i started driving nearly 15 years ago.

The date of the offence is noted as the 23/08/2019 however the date on the intended prosecution is dated the 13/09/2019.

I assumed there is a 14 day period of notification allowed for, can you clarify if this notice is enforceable.

Thanks Guys

Was it a hire or company car ? Are you the registered keeper with DVLA ?

Hi,

The vehicle is a company car that is leased.

Registered keeper is the lease company.

Thanks

What will have happened almost certainly is the initial one was sent with 14 days to the company. They then provided your details as the driver. Providing the initial one was sent within the 14 days then this time limit does not apply to subsequent actions in contacting the driver.
