Just received a 5 month old speeding fine.

I just received a notice of intended prosecution for a speeding offense 5 months ago (37mph in a 30). Aside from it being so long ago, I just checked my diary & I was in a job interview at that time so couldntve been driving.

Its unlikely to be a cloned plate as I rarely venture to the town the offence took place in but on this particular day I was indeed over that way, and what is the chance of the cloned plate and myself being there on the same day. Unfortunately it was so long ago I no longer have any proof that I was in a job interview, and I dont want to contact the company I was interviewing with as I didnt get the job and would be highly embarrassed to contact them over such a thing.

Plus I am still unemployed and can't afford to pay a speeding fine.

What can I do about this?

Without some for of evidence, nothing you can do.

Have you received fixed images, or a link to a video ?

 

If not you should request them as soon as possible, along with other detail such as how your vehicle was photographed (and why you were not stopped on the day)

I'm sure this has to be issued within 14 days and not when they feel like it. Normally the paperwork will give you a link to view the details online.

If the car you were in was not hired and you have not moved address just prior the offence then you can reject the NIP. See here-http://www.motorlawyers.co.uk/procedure/notice_of_intended_prosecution.htm

 

Of course if the NIP was sent out to the registered keeper within 14 days then you are going to have to ask for fuller details.

Thanks for the replies.

There isnt a link on the letter for me to view the photographic evidence.
