Can anyone give me any advice please regarding a speeding prosecution I have received from the Police.
Today I received a Notice off Intended Prosecution dated the 16 of July addressed to me. I would not usually query this except the date of the offence was the 28 of April. Is it too late to send me a notice as I thought this had to be sent within 14 days of the offence? I know there will be certain exceptions. Here is what the offence was for:

“Recorded speed 36, time into red light 0, for the alleged offence of speeding - exceeding 30 miles per hour on restricted road - automatic camera device”.

I am not the registered keeper of the car, that is my sister. The car is registered at her previous address but she has recently moved as she has split up with her partner although they are on speaking terms and he has said no letter has arrived.
I am the main insured driver of this vehicle. Now here are some questions I have:

1) How do I know if a letter was sent to the registered keeper...should my Notice of Intended Prosecution not state this?
2) I never drive through a red light. I am not contesting the speed but I certainly do not drive through a red light.
3) As this letter only arrived today can I appeal this and if so how...do I still need to fill out the form confirming I was driving etc?

Clearly, it was meant in the terms of complying with the speed limit.

Fair enough, I will make an effort to observe all speed limits. If I ever move to the IoM.


They are introducing more limits there. But even though much is unrestricted the offence of choice seems ro be something like "furious driving/riding". :-(

It really doesn’t. I can’t think of the last time someone was prosecuted for that. Drive/ride like a tit and a careless or dangerous charge may quite rightly follow.


I would suspect you are right. I was only basing my comment on my partners son who spends quite a lot of time there visiting his dad. Though there isnt a formal limit on most roads out of town titness has legal consequence. Rightly so.

Speed alone doesn’t amount to dangerous or careless. Driving like a twonk at any speed risks the wrath of the courts. Points for speeding are also 1-10, so that can hurt. Using a mobile will only get you 4 though.
