Advice for a friend

[BigBazza]

Friend got done for 100MPH on M1 7 weeks ago, he was given a ticket and told to expect summons.
7 weeks on, nothing has come through, how does this leave him? does the 14day NIP thing count or is the ticket his NIP?
Thanks

He's got 6 months...

Slinky is right. NIP was served at the time he was stopped.

Note that 6 months is the time they've got to serve the papers to the court - the court may then take longer to serve them to your mate.

IME they usually leave it til a few days before the 6 months is up

Friend stopped for speeding by mobile BiB and reported for summons as 4 mph over Conditional offer (FPN) at which time would be given a verbal NOIP.

BiB goes back to station and submits paper file through the system for summons to be taken out and sent to your friend.

Would have thought couple/maybe three months max to receive summons. However they have 6 months to lay an information and if they don't in this time scale then they cannot proceed - limitation on proceedings expired. If inf laid in this time then summons can be served after 6 months.

Issued with ticket. What ticket. A producer?

They did with mine which the magistrate didn't take to kindly so reduced my 56 day ban to 21 days. Never have I been so grateful. Although would have been nice to get away with it!!!
