I came across a confusing situation regarding the issuance of speeding tickets in France. It seems there might be significant delays in sending out tickets, sometimes up to a year, 18 months, or possibly never arriving at all. A travel writer, managed to shed some light on the matter, noting that Europcar offers a refund of the administration fee if the ticket doesn’t arrive within a year from the violation date.
My concern is about the French Interior Ministry states that fines must be issued within a year after the infraction occurs. Does "issued" mean the date the notice is sent out, or the date it must be received by the offender?

issued - when they send it to the owner (or you after your information is provided by the owner) (or give it to you)

When sent. How can the judge when you received?
