Waiting time for court case? (Busted 101mph in Sussex)

[Mello]

Busted for 101 on motorway this morning. I don't actually believe the reading on the gun they used, as he said I was almost 500 yards away, and on a busy motorway too.

However, my question to others who have gone through this is: How long are summonses taking to come through these days? If the worst comes to the worst and I get banned I know it takes effect on the day of the court, so when is this likely to be, roughly?

Please dont let it be Le Mans time

They have up to 6 months for the case to be given to the court. Summons can appear some time after that.

More than likely a summons will pop through your door in a few months time, rather than in the next couple of weeks.

Ill see what the summons says, when it comes.

I'm just interested to oknow what the typical wait time is for summonses to arrive...?

Wasn't an unmarked Skoda was it? Passed one on the HS talking to someone.

No, it was a big Volvo, battenburg in yellow and blue. Parked on the HS and radar gun facing backwards into traffic.
