Legal/ police help....
Discussion
2 year probational driving period.
legally how long would one have to wait for a court summons after receiving the 6th point on the probational licence?
First was an undercover police vehicle on the motorway.
second was a radar gun on a 30-40-40-40 road about 50metres from becoming a 40zone.
Would lke any advice on how long to wait until the case becomes invalid?
i know on a speed camera its 28days
if a court summons is received ways to get out of it, websites welcome or personal experiences etc.
bearing in mind that the licence can be retaken once lost.
ive been told that if you get a delivery job and your job depends on your licence they are less likely to take it?
any help is welcome
regards maxim

It was just an observation. Seem to be getting a lot of first timers, starting with My mate or Got a question.
The OP states " Ways to get out of it ", yet no one has pointed him in the direction of Nick Freeman, so I would like to help start here

I an amused by the references to a "undercover police vehicle on the motorway" and the "30-40-40-40" (what's the point of the additional '40's?) seemingly to give the impression of there being 'mitigating' circumstances ... to being caught.
And as to telecat's snapping at The Tuscan Rat, his post followed UpTheIron's good advice to see pepipoo.com, so further 'advice' was redundant and comment was valid.

It depends on the situation. Could you answer the following.....
1)How fast were you going in what speed limit on your second offence?
2)How many points did you get from your first offence?
3)Was your second offence caught by a camera van, or stopped by officers? If you saw the van but haven't yet received the letter, it takes up to 14 days, not 28 days.
If you had 3 or more points, and they gave you another fixed penalty ticket then your licence would be automatically be revoked by the DVLA once the extra points were added, you don't have to go to court for this to happen. This will happen AUTOMATICALLY, there is NO right of appeal against it.
The only thing you can appeal against is the offence which led to it being revoked.
If they said you would receive a summons, then it could appear any time in the next 6 months.
It's worth noting that coming onto forums like this and saying things like "I've been caught speeding, how do I get out of it?" is not the best way to get help! If you were doing the speed then take it on the chin and get ready to book some more driving lessons and take the new 50-question theory test.

I think the mags are more interested in inconvenience to others, not you. Like dependant relatives etc.bravo_maxim said:
