Hi,
I was stopped by an unmarked Essex police car on a dual carriageway for excess speed on 14/08/2014.
I was given a little slip informing me that I will be reported for the offence as my speed was over the threshold where the officers could deal with offence themselves.
I received letter today (24/09/2014- letter dated 23/09), for Conditional offer of Fixed Penalty and 3 points.
I know the offer itself is actually generous considering my stupidity, but any points is quite detrimental to me at the moment.
According to the "little slip" I received, there is a part which says "DO NOT do anything until you receive further communication from Essex Police, we will not be able to deal with any queries until that point. You should receive communication from us within 28 days."
Obviously it went over 28 days, so does that give me any hope? I have not changed address or anything and gave my correct Home address at time when they stopped me and provided my driving license. So there is no logical reason why the should have delayed past the 28 days.
I was just thinking about this yesterday and had a look at the date on my "little slip" and thought id got away with it, and today BAM!!
Any advice appreciated.
