Can you check if you've been caught speeding?
No. There is no way to check if you’ve been caught speeding, you just have to wait to see if your speeding notice arrives in the post.
If you've been caught by a speed camera, you should be sent a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) and Section 172 notice in the post. You must return the Section 172 notice within 28 days, telling the police who was driving the car at the time.
If you've been stopped by the police, they will either have given you a verbal warning, given or sent you a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) or ordered you to go to court. If you're ordered to go to court, you'll be sent a letter telling you what to do.
How long does it take to get a speeding ticket?
You should receive your Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) and Section 172 notice within 14 days of you being caught speeding. But, this can depend on what kind of system caught you, and the police force handling the fine. The time of year could also have an impact.
How many speeding fines are issued in the UK?
