Am I right in thinking that the police and courts have 6 months from the date off offence to summons you for court if youve been caught speeding?

they have 14 days (but allow 17) to issue you with a Notice of prosecution, once you return that they have 6 months to inform you of your court date

Have you been a bad boy then Berkley?

I haven't been a bad boy, honest. was hoping they couldn't do anything after 6 months after doing a search on it, it seems they have 15 days for the nip but then have 3 bring you to court.

3 what mate?

months or years?

Think Mike is right - I think it was 6 months from after you get that yellow slip :confused: Went to a magistrates on tuesday, to get a feel of it, and there was someone there who had also gone through a "red" light - but cos the case was more than 6 months after it had been issued, they had to dissmiss him. I think it depends on the case though. Fingers crossed I get a summons in another 7 months :)

good luck with that gotidude!

but are the civil servants and/or the system who sort these things really so incompetent as

to issue a summons after its too late and would mean nothing?

the answers probably yes in many instances!

admire u for standing up to 'em mate,

we need more 'motoring criminals' lmfao to do the same.

Yep - its 6 months Berks :) From the date of the offence.

Can i ask if you have been caught on camera or have you been given an NIP by a police officer ??

The reason i ask is that the police officer has got a time scale to get all his paper work up to date to give to the courts and this is 6 months :(

 

If you have heard from the courts then they have no time scale which to work from ...your summons will come when it comes :confused:

 

if you think you were caught on camera then the authority that caught you has 14 days which to notify you of your offence and the intended prosicution...

I hope this clears a few points up ;) i only know this as my partner is of the police kind....:slap:
