Speeding ticket question

[lauda]

Hoping for a bit of advice on a speeding ticket query.

I received today a letter from Surrey Police entitled 'Reminder - requirement for name and address of driver' in relation to an alleged speeding offence on 4 October 2015. My immediate thought was that I would dispute this on the basis that the NIP was not issued within 14 days of the alleged offence but re-reading the letter it would seem that they have previously issues an NIP and this is now a chaser letter.

I never received the original NIP (I assume it was lost in the post or delivered to the wrong address by postie) so am not sure where I stand on this. They will obviously say that they issued the original NIP within 14 days and I have no way of proving that it never turned up.

Is there any wriggle room on this or is it just tough luck on my part that their first letter went missing?

Thanks chaps, I figured I was probably just going to have to cough up.

To be honest, it's a fair cop as I was doing 83 in a 70 and saw the camera van so was expecting a letter in the post. Just annoyed as having not heard anything in the couple of weeks after, I thought I'd had a lucky escape!
