Advice needed re possible speeding ticket

[Barcon]

I wouldn't do anything but if it's keeping you up at night, call and ask if your contact info is up to date.
You don't have to mention speeding.

Failure to update your V5 can be subject to a £1000 fine.

Feeling lucky punk?

No punk. I am now aware of that having googled it yesterday!!

Park the car in a field, torch it and report it stolen. They can't touch you then.

Is the correct answer and solution to your problem

You are MC Hammer but I'm not claiming my £5 as it annoys some sensitive people on here

Snitches get stitches! You need to carve yourself up, to teach yourself a lesson that you shouldn't grass on yourself!

Change the vehicle keeper details now. The first thing that will happen is that they send a notice of intended prosecution to your old address. They have to do that within 28 days. If they don’t then they cant proceed with any prosecution. In reality if no notice goes to your old address within 28 days then you weren’t caught. If they send one and don’t get a response identifying the driver they will send a follow up.

Got done for the first time in my life a few weeks ago 48mph on a 40mph road. Some devious police vehicle parked in a lay by.

I have been driving for nearly 60 years and will not be doing a speed awareness course as I would just lose my temper. It is nothing to do with road safety just the police getting their statistics improved and a money making racket.

Fuck them,

They are utter wankers. A main road near to where we live, it's been plagued (as are so feckin many) by boy racers in the evening and right through night. All clearly in top end high powered cars that not a one could afford to be driving legally. (That most are uninsured and on false plates negates them caring about such)

Following a huge campaign by neighbours across the area about this issue, the police in their wisdom decided to act on our behalfs.
So, they set up a mobile speed trap on the worst stretch for five whole days .... yes, DAYS. Mon to Fri from 9 am to 4 pm.
They managed to catch many speeders, mostly locals doing a few mph over the limit. Clearly life threatening criminals. They thought it was a job well done.

Of course, once those plod were home each evening for their dinners, and feet up watching the box, the the same fucking idiots still were out doing easily 80 mph on the same 30 mph stretch.

I did that when I sold the car on the 5thJune. The confirmation from the DVLA went to my old address. I only.new this when the new owners posted the letter thru my door. That is when I realised that I might have a problem with regard to the speeding fine I may or may not have been given.
