Speeding ticket sent to wrong address

[thedtjs]

Hi everyone.

So I got caught speeding by an officer on new year's eve. I also recently moved house and hadn't changed the details on my licence. The officer took my details from my licence. I explained to him that I moved house and gave them my new address. He took it down and said he'd get them to send it to that address. 20 days later, I haven't heard anything. I'm not sure what to do. Not sure if I have a legal right to dispute it if it catches up with me, or if I should contact someone to explain the situation.

I have since applied to update my driving licence so I'm waiting to receive my new licence.

Does anyone have any advice on this?

Thanks for the reply.

The car isn't registered at my new address yet. I'm doing that tonight. He told me he would make sure the ticket got sent to the address I provided to him.

Thank you. I've never had a speeding ticket before. Am I right in saying I would have 28 days to pay it? As I'm still within that time frame, would it be wise to send an email to the local constabulary? I guess if anything I would have dated correspondence within the time frame to help with a defense, if it got that far.
