There does seem to be a crackdown lately passed two mobile speed traps in a week after not seeing any for months

Yes absulutly no judgement whatsoever - very supportive you guys are
I am going to sit in a dark room now lolI'd sit on it until you get a court summons and then call the judge a moron for thinking speeding limits apply to you.

Ahh be funny when the guy gets 6 points for not replying to the letter.
Bloody idiot should have changed their address
Exactly id just keep binning them after sending the first back with "not at this address" on.

You would have thought that in the 15 years they have not lived there, they would have had a PCN or two
Why. I've been driving 20+ years and never had one. Tax reminder would be the one I'd expect to get.

Never had a parking ticket either ?
I honestly don’t think there are many like you around. No parking tickets or speeding fines.
Me and my OH makes three then.
Nope never had either.
Closest I've ever got was pulled over in Trafford park for suspected drunk driving because I was swerving and just left a pub.
I was swerving to avoid pot holes in my then RS Turbo with 35 profile diamond cut alloys. Had a nice chat with the officer and off I went.
I like to think I drive pretty carefully to be honest I take pride in the things I do. I don't look down at people that speed or anything (unless they are the idiots doing 100+) but a few mph here and there i don't think should be punished.
Google says "Around 49% of UK drivers have never been formally charged or fined for a motoring offence."
I've been driving for rather longer than 20 years and have always had a clean license. The last time I received a parking ticket I was a teenager. And it was so unfair!

Like, totally?
Totally.
The whole sorry story is that I went to a shop on my motorbike. There was a designated motorbike parking bay around the corner that I had used many times, but on this occasion it was largely covered by a stack of building materials. I left my bike on the edge of the parking space thinking that would be OK. Came back to find a ticket. Looked into appealing but was told that the ticket had been issued by the police rather than a council traffic warden and that it would have to go to court, so it was better to just pay the fine.
Got my last (and only 2nd ever) speeding fine when I was 19 (now 53) and a parking ticket when I was 20.
I did send the first couple back with no longer at this address but still keep getting them - although never had a Tax reminder so not sure whats going on....
