Hi Guys
Wonder if someone can help me. I was stopped back on the 14th Dec 2006 doing 78 in a 50 by a nice friendly officer of the law sat on a parked motorbike with a laser gun. He took all my details and gave me a producer. I took all the relevant paperwork to my local police station the next day! Not heard a thing since! Have I got away with it? I've read that it has to be sorted within 6 months. Well its 7 and a half since I took my docs in. Any help appreciated! Pete |

Were you warned at the time that you would be "reported for consideration for prosecution for the offence of..." (or words to that effect - e.g. "you'll be getting a summons in the post")? An information (application for a summons) must be laid with the court within 6 months of the alleged offence (England & Wales), although a summons can be served later, but they need a good reason for any considerable delay. -------------------- Andy

Hi Andy
Can't fill in the NIP wizard as I haven't had one! First question is have I had one. Answer No.  I asked when I was stopped if I would just get a £60 fine and 3 points. He laughed and informed me that I'd be recieving a summons. This post has been edited by Peteivy: Thu, 2 Aug 2007 - 11:49 |

Given the length of time over the 6 month limit for laying a summons, it would probably be a good idea to ring the court to see if there is a summons for you. Where were you "caught"? -------------------- |

The number of people who kept saying to me "you will be fine if youv'e not heard anything" I kept saying "they have 6 months tho, so I'm not getting my hopes up" Then the the one time I said to someone I think I may have gotten away with it... BANG a summons was waiting on the doorstep

Even in Humberside, he'd be safe at four months.
