Del Boy Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 Just thought id see what info I can get out of this?? On the 17th April this year I was caught by a speed trap van doing 79mph in a 50mph but what p!sses me off is I was at work and didn't speed all day until I got on this duel carriage way obviously 70mph which I was doing the 79mph and same into the 50mph zone still on the duel carriage way and their they were just around the corner I have received a letter saying I was speeding which I sent back saying it was me. Today I receive my summons in the post 6 months and a week later so I'm p!ssed right off! The police have 6 months from the offence date to serve me with the papers which I had today so I may get away with it??? Anyone been through the same sort of situation and got away with? Just curious really!!
dacar Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 The letter that you signed to say you were the driver must be with the registered keeper, not driver unless reg keeper, within 14 days. Thereafter the report of speeding must go to crown office within 6 months so if I was you I'd go and ask a lawyer but you might be onto plums. Worth a try.

I received the first letter from work on the 17th day after I was speeding but they couldn't tell me how many days they had it before I seen it? I was the logged driver so I couldn't say it wasn't me. Speeding date was 17th April so they have 6 months from that date to summons me the papers which the police signed 22nd October yesterday which would be 6 months 6 days since the offence. I emailed speeding lawyers and thats where I get the 6 month limit from I have emailed them today to see if I can get away with it?? Bloody hope so Ive had a clean licence for 15 years!
