Running a red light - how long til receive fine?

purplestar133

I know if you're to be fined for running a red light you should receive notifcation within 14 days - but is it 14 straight days or 14 working days?

TIA

thelawnet

you probably won't receive anything

My daughter was offered a course instead of points, cost her £80 and only lasted 2 hours.

The days are for a NIP to be sent to the keeper, not issue a fine. (And that is 14 "straight" days)

Lum

Assuming the car is registered in your name, and hasn't recently changed details, of course.

It should be posted, so as to arrive with the registered keeper by day fourteen, taking the day of the offence as day zero.

But give it until a couple of days later until you breath easy. In case of postal delays.

Then brush off your copy of Gidden v CC Humberside and prepare for a day out!

Thanks for that, that is very interesting.

God I hope I am! I'll pay any fine but I really don't want the points and am kicking myself that it might affect my insurance...all because of a mistake that I instantly regretted and have been torturing myself about ever since.
