It is unreasonable but, as it has taken well over 14 days to reach you, you can send it back and tell them that it is too late SFAIK. Afer this length of time it cannot be enforced; also you would not be able to remember who was driving at the relevant date and time - would you? :). Check for further thoughts on www.pepipoo.com

Just a thought - the five months previous incident, is there a chance that you were not the owner of the vehicle involved?. If so the SCP will have sent the original papers out in 14 days to that person who may well have made enquiries, all taking time and someone has named you as the driver.
If not and you were the regd owner of the vehicle and this is the first paperwork you have received wqrite back to them and point out that Notice of Intended Prosecution has not been served with 14 days sop proceedings cannot take place at law. It is a point that may have to be arfgued at Court if they push it.
By writing try to protract ,atters another month because if they have not laid an information for the speeding offence within 6 months of occurrence then they cannot issue a summons.
On an offence of failing to name driver under S172 that is another matter. Was there not a demand to name within 28 days with the papers?
