Pulled over for speeding over 3 weeks ago, but nothing received in the post

Thanks HO87

I have heard of the imit + 10% + 9mph = 42mph and the officer did say that I was on the cusp, so it could go either way. I admit to expecting the 3 points and fine.

Presume they can still send this even after 3 weeks?

There seems still to be an issue about the NIP, were you warned at the time that you might be prosecuted? If so that requirement is satisfied and as has been said there could very easily be further action despite the delay.

Excuse my ignorance, but NIP?

Yes I was warned. Presume that's the NIP?

give_them_FA

Yes our shorthand for Notice of Intended Prosecution.

So in other words, it may take a few weeks or more yet even though its not on their database?

Thanks again all for the quick and helpful answers

What GTFA is driving at is did the officers say: "You will be reported for consideration of the question of prosecuting you for speeding/excess speed"?

As antiquated as it seems this specific form of words are required if there was a chance that you would be prosecuted. There is no requirement for it to be used if, ultimately, you were to receive a FPN or a course which is exactly what it seems you were told. Similarly you would also have been cautioned: "You do not have to say anything but it may harm you defence if you do not mention when questioned something you later rely on in court....". Does that ring any bells?

Yes he said "Anything you say... "

Stu,

That is the caution but did they also say "You will be reported for the question of considering prosecuting you for the offence of exceeding the speed limit" or something very similar at the time?

Not that I recall
