Dave G – Most importantly of all, check it’s not a scam. Sadly, there are countless rogue individuals or organisations sending out all sorts of things that look legitimate and official but aren’t. My suspicions would be the 4 or 5 pages of ‘overly hyped rubbish’ and the fact that the alleged offence is 55mph in a 50. Tolerance levels are usually 10% plus 1 to 3 mph depending upon governing authority (usually Police force) to allow for error / camera calibration issues, so it’s unusual to get a ticket for less than 56mph in a 50.
If you are absolutely satisfied that it’s legitimate then, as others have said, you need to inform them of the actual driver. They will get the same option to attend a driver awareness course. If you don’t do this, should you be unfortunate enough to get a ticket yourself in the next 3 years, you won’t have the option to attend the driver awareness course yourself and will automatically get a fine and points.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
