I may have went on a several hour drive in the dark with just sidelights on. Q about penalty points

It's not a question about what is theoretically possible. It's a question of what actually happens.
Even if we are talking deep theory here, then the requirement is for a Notice of Intended Prosecution to be served with 14 days, which would be the relevant timescale if the OP wanted to be absolutely sure that they were not being prosecuted.
How many people are prosecuted for minor driving offences in this way (excluding the camera offences of Speeding, Red Light and Box Junction)?0 -

Yet again you're wrong, there is no need for a NIP so the relevant timescale would be six months for the information to be put before a court.0 -

So these are offences other than:
Section 2 (dangerous driving)
Section 3 (careless driving/driving without reasonable consideration)
Section 22 (leaving the vehicle in a dangerous position)
Section 28 (dangerous cycling)
Section 29 (careless cycling)
Sections 35 and 36 (disobeying certain traffic signs and police signals)
And under the Road Traffic Regulation Act:
Sections 16, 17(4), 88(7) and 89(1) (speeding offences)
or aiding and abetting any of the above.
Which require a NIP.0 -
