Do you mail the ticket as well offence
In the UK, when you receive a fixed penalty notice (FPN) for a traffic offence, you will typically receive a paper copy of the notice in the post. This is usually sent to the registered keeper of the vehicle, which may be the driver, the vehicle owner, or a third party.
The FPN will include details of the alleged offence, the date and time of the alleged offence, and the location where the alleged offence took place. It will also specify the amount of the fixed penalty and the deadline for paying the penalty.
If you receive an FPN, you should carefully read the notice and follow the instructions provided. You may be able to pay the penalty online, by phone, or by post. If you dispute the allegation, you may be able to appeal against the notice.
It's important to note that if you do not pay the penalty or appeal against it, you may be taken to court and could face a fine, penalty points on your licence, or even a driving ban.
Here are the general steps you should follow if you receive an FPN:
- Read the notice carefully and check the details of the alleged offence.
- Check if you are the registered keeper of the vehicle and if you were the driver at the time of the alleged offence.
- Check if you have any evidence that could help you dispute the allegation.
- Decide whether to pay the penalty or appeal against it.
- Follow the instructions provided in the notice to pay the penalty or appeal against it.
- Keep a copy of the notice and any evidence you have for your records.
It's always a good idea to seek advice from a solicitor or a legal expert if you are unsure about what to do or if you are facing a serious allegation.
