I was expecting penalty points for speeding.

Unless you get something in the letter box then you don't have anything to worry about. Plain and simple.

If you don't get a letter, don't go looking for 1.

Yeah, my friend didn't got the letter and now has to go to court.

If he tells the judge that he didn't get the letter (weither its true or not) then the case will be struck out. This defence is used on a daily basis.

PS: I'm not advocating that anyone lies................ obviously.

Well, my other friend was stopped by Garda and accused he has spoken over mobile while driving. He had blue tooth in his ear and tried to explain he was talking over it. Didn't help, ended in court. Judge didn't listen any explanation - 600 Euro. So my trust in honestly of courts here is quite limited...

That is completely different than getting caught by a speed van.

The judge will nearly always side with the Garda.

But in this case, the onus is on the company to ensure that you get the speeding ticket. If you don't get it, they can't prove you did unless the letter was registered. It can up to 3 weeks to arrive.

Is it not a case that a letter is presumed as delivered once sent??
Or i could be completely making that one up!!

The amount of cases turfed out of court on a regular basis suggest otherwise. There was a report of a judge a while back who went on a major rant because he reckoned that due to the sheer number of people who claimed not to have received the letters at least some/most of them were lying/perjuring themselves.

Have others received the letter regarding speeding after a week or is it normally over two weeks before the letter would arrive?
