Can I get away with a speeding ticket through a loophole? What the law says

UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 25 – Drivers can challenge speeding tickets if the Notice of Intended Prosecution is not received within 14 days, with a minimum £100 fine and 3 penalty points typically imposed.

  • In the UK, police must send a Notice of Intended Prosecution within 14 days, or drivers may avoid penalties, according to Frank Rogers Law.
  • Typically, drivers caught exceeding speed limits are issued a Fixed Penalty Notice, resulting in a fine and points on their licence.
  • Drivers may argue defences like inadequate signage or miscalibrated cameras, although proving speedometer faults remains challenging.
  • Despite the deadline, the loophole collapses if the notice went to a rental company or outdated address, according to Frank Rogers Law.
  • Future challenges hinge on case specifics and legal arguments, as under UK law, ignorance of speed is not a valid defence, and there is no single best strategy.
