If you think you have been flashed by a speed camera, you have to wait 14 days for it to be confirmed or not: that's how long the police have to issue a 'notice of intended prosecution', or NIP. It is sent to the registered keeper of the vehicle – worth bearing in mind if you drive a company car.

Statute of Limitations NSW
The statute of limitations in NSW is 6-months for summary offences. This means that if it has been more than 6 months since the alleged offence occurred, you cannot be found guilty. This limitation is contained in Section 179(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act 1986 (NSW).
The law states that the police must send the NIP within 14 days of the offence, not including the day it happened. So, the NIP you receive must be dated within 14 days of the offence. If it is dated outside of this time, the notice is invalid.

Answered by Test. According to ACPO guidelines the prosecuted limit is normally the speed limit plus 10 per cent plus 2mph, which means normally cases are only dealt with when the speed is 35mph and above. In addition, speed awareness courses are offered in many areas for 10 per cent plus 6mph (so up to 39mph).
What is the 'rule'? The 'rule' itself is quite straightforward: if the speed limit is (for example) 30mph, the rule states that you won't get a speeding ticket unless you are going 10% plus 2 mph faster than the limit.
