The company I have worked for have today received an intention to prosecute from Devon & Cornwall Police for the offence of driving at 82mph in a 70 on the M5.
At the time of the alleged offence I would have been the driver of the vehicle which is a leased car so we were expecting the fine to come through as we had received an admin charge last week from the lease company.
My query is the date of the offence is May 3rd 2025 and the date of the notice to ourselves is 2nd June so Monday of this week which would be just over 4 weeks gap. I know if it was a personal vehicle there is a 2 week cut off for receiving the first letter but is it different for lease vehicles? Is there any point in trying to appeal based on timeframes? I know in the meantime we have to contact the police naming the driver but just wondered where we stand
