Yeah, they've got 14 days to issue a NIP, otherwise you've gotten away with it so you can sleep tonight

One way to look at it, is you can spend the money they would have taken from you on a tank of petrol.

Happy Motoring

The police have six months to lay information at the magistrates court for them to issue a summons. What was the speed limit, as 22 or 32 over the limit could be the difference between a ban or a big fine?

Did they not give you a copy of the ticket?

Well you're going to have to wait to find out. The downside is that most summons arrive near to the 6 month deadline, so a fair bit of time left, sorry.

If the ticket doesn't say what the posted limit was I assume you can get off it on a technicality, you need some professional help on the situation I think yellow

30 over the limit will lead to a ban,start looking for the loopholes.
56 in a 30 for me got off with 6 points and £320 fine.
5months 15 days after the offence got the summons.
the points are on your licence from conviction date.

Yep short ban if your lucky I'm afraid mate I got a weeks ban and £300 fine for 26 over the limit, (25 over is the maximum threshold for 3points n £60 fine) but I had other current offences to take into account *cough. However you might get lots of points and bigger fine instead, depends on the magistrates and current state of your licence. Got my summons on the day of expiry to, b4stards

If you were pulled over by the police and warned that you will be reported with a view to prosecuting you, then they do not have to send you a NIP. So you may still get done for it.
