My husband has already confirmed he was the driver but I've just realised the date of the offence was 14/12/24 and the intend to prosecute letter was dated 20/01/25. I thought it had to be sent within 14 days?
But he was driving a work van so is it 14 days to contact his employer or him?

You don’t know it was sent late….
his employer could of taken time to respond causing the delay

I don't know what date they contacted his employer. He left on bad terms at the end of last month due to his arsehole manager so he doesn't want to get back in touch with him!
It's just annoying it's well over a month since the offence and he's only just learnt about it. Wonder if he could find out via the Police when they sent the letter to his employer? Can't imagine they would admit sending it too late though!

14 days to contact employer. Sorry but its legit. If they sent letter to employer within timeframe then you dont have a leg to stand on

I’m sure David Beckham famously got off with a speeding ticket over this very issue. You need legal advice OP.

Probably some delay due to the break over Christmas and new year?

His employer, who presumably named him.
