Recieved a NIP for a speeding offence in Wales dated 3rd May. It arrived within the 14 days and I replied with the correct details. Since then I have heard nothing!!!. Is there a time limit from receiving the NIP till you hear anything more?, I am hoping that this wont turn out to be an early xmas present
any help or info would be appreciated

 

6 months

 

Indeed it is....has to be heard in court, not just recieved the summons, within 6 months of the date of the offence....i'd say there's a very good chance your gonna get away with it, only a week left before the time limit is up....lucky!!!

 

allways look on the bright side it will only be 3 points at the most!

 

Don't wish to pish on your strawberries. However, it is TECHNIQUELY possible for a summons to be 'protected', and can be served at ANYTIME. For instance, if it's a serious offence and the driver of a car cannot be traced, i.e they've moved away etc.

Otherwise, the above comments are 100% correct. In the past, even evidence presented to the court just before the end of the 6 months has been thrown out, as the magistrates believe it to be an abuse of process.

Hope this helps

 

Just guess I will have to keep the fingers crossed. Thanks to all for the info, in honesty I had myself to blame it was just I had set aside a few pounds for the inevitable fine
