Does this count as over the time limit?
s172 requirements do not have a '14 day time limit'.  I suspect you're confusing this with the 14 day requirement for a NIP to the Registered Keeper (for which you're not).

Do I need to provide my details before anything else?
Failing to provide driver details will likely see you prosecuted.  If convicted then you'd get 6 points for each offence and would be banned due to totting.

I suggest complying fully with the requirements.

I recently received two Section 172s. Both are for going 57 in a 50.

The van was a rental.

The first offence was on 3 June and the letter is dated 30 July.

The second offence was on 4 June and the letter is dated 4 August.
