I had only just bought the car
I was caught by a speed Camera. The offence was on x/10 and I recived the notice of intended prosecution letter which is dated x/10. I should have received the notice within 14 days according the the website(link below), but had only purchased the car 4 days before(the DVLA may not have transfered ownership). Is the notice I received still legal as it was over 14 days. Thanks

I'm afraid there is an exception to the 14 day rule if the police had trouble tracking you down. I anticipate they did because you had only just bought the car. They probably sent the first NIP to the keeper before you and then got given your details. This is an exception to s.1 RTOA Im afraid and will not afford you a defence.
Have you got any points already? If so how many?
