Got speeding ticket for a car i sold
Discussion
Hi guys
I think ive made a boo boo. I sold my car earlier in the month and got an NIP through yesterday for a speeding offence commited the next day. Well actually 1.30am but technically the next day.
Only problem is that i didnt write down the guys address it was only on the reg document that i sent to the dvla to be updated. What do i do????
I have his mobile number and have put that on the form should i write a note explaining the situation?
Not best pleased but at least the next day so V5 should show that ownership transferred the day before

Phone him up saying you found some stuff for the car and ask him for address to send it to him!I think ive made a boo boo. I sold my car earlier in the month and got an NIP through yesterday for a speeding offence commited the next day. Well actually 1.30am but technically the next day.

Speeding ticket or failing to declare the new owner to the DVLA? Rock or Hard place?
Think you miss-read what the OP posted! he sold the car and the NIP is dated the day after he sold it.Perhaps OP might explain this, and that new owner details will become apparent in due course (I'm sure this is above).
I'm positive that there is no law that says the new owner's details *must* be retained by the previous keeper - but it makes sense in case of instances like this. Previous keeper has discharged his responsibility to DVLA wrt sending V5C with new owner's details in any case .
A very similar thing happened to me. DVLA backed up my story that I had sold the car and the new owner was responsible for the ticket.
The idiot then got another ticket that was also sent to me about 2 weeks later. I found out he sold the car shortly afterwards. I suspect he didn't trust himself to drive it at legal speeds.

Did you get an aknowledgement of the keeper change from the DVLA?
The key to coming out of this situation without a blemish on your licence or your wallet.The DVLA are the most efficient department in the world when it comes to dishing out charges, and collecting revenue, however they are remarkably defficient with these. If you sell a car, and don't get one of these within 2 weeks, ring them up ASAP before they start hassling you for the next road tax payment, or (as with this example) speeding fine.
Having had to spend more time than I'd like talking to the automotons that the DVLA recruit regarding changes in keepers, I never send off a completed logbook without photocopying it and sending it by proof of posting. I also include the time of transfer as well as the date on receipts that I keep, and duplicate for the buyer to protect me from them deciding to go home and flash every camera on their way home.
