Guides · Speeding notices
A speeding notice, or Notice of Intended Prosecution, is a legal matter, not a parking charge. Fineline helps you keep track of the dates; it never helps anyone avoid a legal duty.
A Notice of Intended Prosecution should normally reach the registered keeper within 14 days of the offence. If yours arrived later, that can matter, and it is worth getting advice.
The notice comes with a request to say who was driving. You must reply within 28 days. Not replying is a separate offence, usually with 6 penalty points and a fine, so it is important to reply on time.
For many first-time, lower-speed offences you may be offered a speed awareness course instead of points. Otherwise it is often a fixed penalty, usually £100 and 3 points, or a court summons for more serious cases.
If you might lose your licence, if the notice arrived late, or if you were not the driver and do not know who was, speak to a solicitor or a motoring advice service.
General information for England and Wales, not legal advice. Rules can differ in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
