I personally wouldn't be worried about it. I've seen enough of these videos* and I can honestly say I do not remember a thing about the star or their vehicle. How many people really are going to be outraged enough by someone on their phone, while sat stationary at the lights, that they would want to be confrontational in the future?

Ultimately the posters are doing it for content and the more they can annoy someone into reacting the better. Any moral story they may want to plead about doing it for dead relatives is generally a load of old **** to attempt to garner sympathy over criticism.

* Usually because I want to see if someone gets out their vehicle and head butts him, the cycling nonce.

What was your alleged speed?

You asked if the links expire, they can do. How long ago was the offence and how long have you had your request for driver information.

This needs to be completed irrespective of whether you have seen the pictures or not.

With regard to the calibration checks, unless you were doing 80 or 100mph it is probably of no use knowing.

S172 covers the duty to identify the driver of a vehicle.
Do the SJPNs refer to speeding and/or failure to identify the driver?

Reading the thread answers your question. Particularly the post directly above yours (point 1).

That is irrelevant to be honest. It is whether a court would share that opinion based upon the facts. One of them being did you drive down that road on that day at roughly 1hr time difference. You did, obviously, otherwise how would you know that the time is 1hr out for the location given?   

You never mentioned anything wrong with the date of offence.

Your easiest approach still is to email or contact the CTO involved informing them of their error and state that you can evidence (assuming you can) that your vehicle was elsewhere at the time. They may drop it or they may push ahead and say you will have to dispute this formally.
 

So what do you want to happen? The vehicle returned? Scrapped? Given a new registration?

Generally the best time (no pun) to point this out would have been when naming the driver. Usually advice is to wait until 14 days have elapsed from the date of offence and then reply with a cover letter giving your details but pointing out that while you are the RK and driver of the vehicle, the vehicle itself was at such and such location at the time specified.

There are no guarantees of success, but we have heard of forces then dropping the prosecution due to a processing error. If you have all of the reference numbers still, you could try emailing or phoning the CTO involved and tell them that although you nominated yourself the car was elsewhere, etc.

Otherwise the only other course you have is to reject all out of court settlement offers and plead NG in order to put your case across. The problem is, if it is a GMT/BST error, the Magistrate may allow this to be corrected under the slip rule. Which then makes the day out very expensive. 

What are we talking here, Speeding? What was the alleged speed and limit?

4. What is he “docref” date (at the bottom of page 2, I believe).

And this bit?

The reason for the scrutiny is we are told it is virtually impossible for the 'system' to issue an NIP out of time. There is also of course the general state of the postal system these days (and particularly it being a busy time of the year of for the post office).

But there is the possibility that on the 20th December an automatic reminder was sent as 21 days had lapsed without a response. You have 28 days but you do see reminders being received before that has elapsed.

Often the process of identification is described in the statement, along the lines of "A S.172 request was sent on X date requesting driver details" If no response was received it will mention a reminder was sent on XX date.
