Of course the V5c you have may not be the latest one issued, all you can do is
1/ Check online when the last change to your V5c was made - https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/ the summary page will give "Date of last V5C (logbook) issued" in the second to last line.

So I did this, and it appears I am in the wrong  - thanks Rookie for making me check - it turns out that the date on the online service was more recent so it looks like I did actually change the address of the V5C to my parents during lockdown.

I've just spoken to them and there was a NIP waiting for me dated only 3 days after the speeding event 

Sorry for giving you the wrong information (the original V5C I was looking at was a scan of the old one on my computer)

So clearly I am going to be in a spot of bother having not responded to the first NIP back in April - so as NewJudge suggests I will respond to the request for information and see what happens.

Argh!

Hi,

I received in the post 2 letters:

Letter 1 - Dated 28th June
"Enquiries with the DVLA in relation to the above numbered notice suggest that the address detail held on record is incorrect..."

Letter 2 - Dated 29th June
Notice of Intended Prosecution - "Speeding - exceed temporary restriction of 30mph on a motorway" on 16/04/2024. The vehicle was recorded at a speed of 38mph. The alleged offence was detected with the aid of safety camera equipment.

During lockdown I updated my driving licence to be at my parents address as I moved in with them, my car was still registered to my usual address.

I'm guessing that this is why I received the letter on the 28th June - presumably as they noticed some discrepancy between my driving license and my V5C document. I am the registered keeper. There has not been anything sent to me at my parents address (where my drivers licence is registered).

It seems that the NIP was dated 74 days after the incident, what are my options if I believe I was not notified within the required 14 day window?

Thanks :-)
