I’m pretty sure the prosecution are going to be able to prove it never arrived.

Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: Untruthful police report

I’m still unclear as to what part of the police evidence is “untruthful” (i.e. a deliberate lie) and how the OP knows this.

Or - here’s a thought - just ask them how the booking came to be made.
This knee-jerk reaction of “make a SAR” is irritating.

To be blunt, your ‘engagement’ with the DVLA is a bit “so what?” in terms of the SJPN. I suspect that’s not what you want to hear but there it is.

I think that since no calibration is legally required it won’t amount to a defence (or even a defense).

Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: Identity theft leading to failure to respond
« on: April 20, 2026, 04:52:38 pm »Which is all very good, but irrelevant if the OP wasn’t the RK. That being said, the fact that he uses “claimant” rather suggests that he is confusing criminal and civil procedural rules.
My understanding is that for service to be valid at a "last known address" (if this in fact becomes the prosecution's defence), the claimant must have been unable to ascertain a defendant's current residence; I'm not confident this can be true given the number of public records which refer to my current address.
When a NIP and/or S172 request is to be sent to the Registered Keeper, the "last known address" is taken as that shown on the DVLA record at the date of the (alleged) offence. In most cases that is correct.
The police are not required to trawl other records on the off-chance that it might be wrong, and in any case it would be impractical. The DVLA record ties a particular individual to the vehicle in question. There may be many others with the same name, e.g. John Smith, and no easy way to know which John Smith's new address they are seeking.
