    # Great Britain speeding notice response route

    The selected GOV.UK guidance says a camera case can produce a notice of
    intended prosecution and a section 172 notice. It states a 28-day return period
    for the section 172 notice and a later fixed-penalty or court branch. Section
    172 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 supplies the Great Britain statutory source;
    the actual notice and current legislation remain controlling.

    The provider is the
    [notice-issuing police force](../organisations/notice-issuing-police-force-great-britain.md)
    identified on the document, not a universal police organisation invented by
    this bundle. The recipient must not use this educational record to decide who
    drove, whether a defence exists or whether to accept a disposal.

    Court processing then diverges into the selected
    [England and Wales route](england-wales-speeding-court-route.md) or
    [Scottish route](scotland-speeding-prosecution-route.md). Northern Ireland has
    an [independently sourced route](northern-ireland-speeding-notice.md).

    All facts were observed on 2026-08-07 and remain subject to the
    [evidence limitations](../evidence/learning-to-drive-speeding-sources.md).
