Police case officer Angela Todd said: 'A conditional offer of a fixed penalty was sent on April 9. [Ings] has failed to comply with the requirements of these disposal options.'
The former Liverpool player was caught driving at an average of 60mph in a 50mph zone - with the speed limit set due to roadworks - at 3.29am near Southampton, Hants, on February 3 this year.
Ings, who lives in Winchester, Hants, is yet to enter a plea.

He is said to have been travelling eastbound between junctions four and five, where Highways England is carrying out roadworks to make a smart motorway.
Yellow hawk average speed cameras were installed with a 50mph speed restriction in place and 10,204 drivers were caught speeding between junction four and five of the M27 last year, police figures show.
Ings, who has appeared for England three times since moving up from the under-21 squad, cost a reported £18m when he moved to Southampton and has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
