Hi all.
I was pulled over by a police officer with a speed gun around 5 1/2 months ago.
I was stupidly doing 51 in a 30 zone.
He went through things at the time, took my picture and said i'd probably hear within 8 weeks.
As mentioned 5 1/2 months went past and i thought i had escaped it, but paperwork has just arrived in the post asking for my guilty / not guilty plea.
Do i have any grounds that the paperwork has arrived too late?
I have tried reading online but keep getting different information (14 days / 6 weeks / 6 months).
The penalty will be Band C which looks like 6 points and a huge fine, obviously i was hoping to avoid that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
