Speeding - didnt change address for 2 years!
Just realised (after 2 years!?) that I hadn't changed my address on my licence or log book. I got re-direction for 1 year from the previous address - so I simply failed to notice when renewing my car tax last time. But doing my tax this time - I thought, thats odd - I didnt get a renewal!
However over the last year - theres been 2 or 3 times when I have gone past speeding cameras around 5-10 mph over the limit. Possibly 15 mph. In one case there was a lorry in the way, and another a cyclist - so they may not count anyway.
But each time I thought phew - I didnt get done as I didnt get a letter!
Now of course I realise that even if I DID get done - I wouldnt have got a letter anyway! I have changed my address now of course.
But what if I did get done in the last year for speeding and I didnt get any letters or even know about it?
What could I expect? Whats the WORST that could happen?
Purely an innocent (albeit stupid!) mistake.

You'll find out because now they know where you are. But I very much doubt that you have anything to worry about, so don't worry.
