NIP Time limits

Hi, First time poster looking for a little advice.
Today I received an NIP for speeding in a variable speed zone. I
actually remember doing this so I guess thats it. How ever I
have a couple of questions.
1) The tickets issue date is the 20.01.25 and the date of
offence was 05.01.25 so thats 15days, I remember they only have
14days to issue an NIP so im thinking..... This is probably
because it was a company vehicle and the NIP first went to the
employer/registered keeper who provided my details. Is this
correct or are they a day late Issuing it.
2) As I said I remember this happening and saw the camera flash
in my mirrors, I actually thought I was in a 50 but as I passed
the gantry I saw it was 40 but all too late, when it flashed I
checked my speed and it said 44mph, Im driving HGV so calibrated
speedo but the ticket has come in at 46mph. Heres the thing I
have the whole thing on dash cam and was wondering if there is
any way to confirm my speed from the footage.
Finally Im not to bothered about a speeding ticket its an
occupational hazard and its been a very long time since my last
one. BUT I do like things to be right, I play by the rules and
so must they, so if they have issued this incorrectly then I
will dispute it.
Ive attached the NIP for your attention.

Only the first notice (usually the registered Keeper) has the 14
day requirement, subsequent notices have no such requirement. So
if yours is the 2nd notice, clearly the first must have been
served within 14 days on the RK. So no get out clause there.
I suspect the speed is correct, it's common for drivers to come
off the throttle when flashed and then look at their speed. If
this is a HADECS3 camera, you cannot manually verify the speed
AFAIK.

Also, the offence is exceeding the speed limit. The penalty for
44 would be exactly the same as for 46.

Thanks again, As I said its been a long time, I have just
admitted the offence and its quite interesting reading , you can
view all photo's and calibration certs online, Things have
definitely moved on, and I guess theres no 10 percent plus 2mph
any more either.

Whatchu talking about Willis?
Enforcement starts at a recorded speed of 10% +2mph above the
speed limit.
Prior to hypothecation (more than 20 years ago), enforcement
typically started above that threshold. So, if that's what you
mean, you must have been "gone" a very long time - as in before
PePiPoo even started.

Well I really dont have the ability to comprehend That but
thanks for trying to explain it.
All a mute point now as I have held my hands up and will take
the medicine, hopefully a speed awareness course.
