got flashed speeding, how long to respond?

[Loofer]

Got flashed by roadside camera today. All I want to know is how long do they have to send me a letter?

I believe there is a legal time frame in which they have to notify you otherwise they can legally enforce the summons/fine etc on you... is that correct?

If so, what is the time limit?
If i recieve the leter after this time has lapsed, is there a standard response I should send?

I hate the waiting period involved. I can deal with the outcome as I'll get what the law sees fit.... unless it's a ban, need my car for work (38 miles each way)

Thanks

Two weeks they say.

Shame there's a postal strike.....<grin>

Two weeks... hmm I was hoping it would be 7 days.

P.S Postal Strikes are off

Correctomundo, you were right

"The police must serve the notice to arrive within 14 days on the registered keeper. As long as it is posted (within that time limit) 1st class, this is presumed to be good service (though this can be challenged)."

You can challenge this by asking them to prove who was driving, its not down to you to tell them who was driving. 'You have the right to remain silent' and you do!!
