Speeding ticket whilst V5 with DVLA?

[foxbody-87]

Purely hypothetical -

If one’s V5 was away with the DVLA having the address updated, and one got flashed by a camera, then presumably depending on the date the V5 was re-issued then the ticket might conceivably go to the old address. Assuming the new owner of the house didn’t reply to the NIP what would be the camera partnerships next steps and how long would it take?

Why would the new owner of a house reply to a NIP ,apart from saying "it wasn't me ,not my car " ?

The hypothetical speeder will not get away with it this way.

The hypothetical speeder isn’t interested in getting away with it, only curious as to how long it will take to be put out of their misery and receive the NIP!

[Pericoloso]

Due to the technicality of the V5 being changed ,the 2 week rule will go out the window and give them as long as they need

to find the genuine hypothetical speeder.

The V5 being changed is not their fault .

Interesting, thanks.

After a while of not receiving a reply at all from the registered keeper's address the police will simply look to see who has insured it or get an updated keeper address from DVLA or both.
It won't take long and section 2 Road Traffic Offenders Act will apply.

2 Requirement of warning etc: supplementary.
(3)Failure to comply with the requirement of section 1(1) of this Act is not a bar to the conviction of the accused in a case where the court is satisfied—

(a)that neither the name and address of the accused nor the name and address of the registered keeper, if any, could with reasonable diligence have been ascertained in time for a summons or, as the case may be, a complaint to be served or for a notice to be served or sent in compliance with the requirement, or

(b)that the accused by his own conduct contributed to the failure.

[No ideas for a name]

Can you not contact the new owner of that house and ask if they have received a NIP addressed to you?
If so, get them to forward it. to you.

If not, and you haven't got one at your new address within 14 days of the offence, then you are not getting (a valid) one.

If you don't reply to the original, it wil surely work its way to you later, but you may miss the opportunity of one of the simpler disposals (course or fixed penalty).

You can also purchase a post redirection service from the royal mail so even if the letter was sent to your old address it would be forwarded to you.

The DVLA have pointed me in the direction of their Subject Access Requests department. Have sent them an enquiry to see if any information has been requested by the Safety Cameras department

I'm just intrigued as to what you are going to do with the information?

Why would you need to do that for a purely hypothetical situation ? A waste of yours and their time
