Right long story short

got caught speeding on the 10/10/06

and i have to go to court

Does anyone know how long the police have to send you the court summons???

I thought 14 days to let you know that you were caught and the summons should also be in that period

No i got the notification that i was caught speeding almost stright away but i thought they had 6 months to give me a court summons

Anyway i recieved it today 6months and 2 days after the offence

So rung the court and she says the magistrate will look at the date of summons which of course is probably back dated to 05/04/07

i know its my fault for speeding but bit unfair as really i have been served the summons after the 6months

Did the police stop you did they say they where going to report you if so thats your notification.

ps this may help

i was flashed by a GATSO

download that book mate it will help :)

Right i chatted some shit, forget that...

If the court received a summons calling you to a court hearing within 6months, then you have to go to court. If they also received the paperwork after 6months then it is no longer valid.
