Thread: Court Summon Pending?

Hello everybody

Hope you can help me, im so worried and i cant relax!

I was pulled over in october 2008, for doing 55-60mph in a 40mph dual carriage way which was at night and empty, to cut a long story short, i applogised to the officers and explained why i was speeding etc, he turned to me and said "depending how i feel at the end of the night, depends if i take this any further, if i do you will be getting a summon shortly" this was about 5 months ago now, i am aware that the officer has 6 months to take this further!

My question is this, is there any way i can find out after 6 months has passed (or even now) if the officer took this any further, as i really need to know as i am currently training to be a driving instructor and i cannot afford to have any points on my licence!

Thanks all for your time and understanding!

Many Regards

Doesn't sound like a top-drawer copper to me with that attitude.

You might as well wait another month instead of rocking the boat and reminding somebody.

I was thinking that, after 6 months has passed how would i find out if he took it further?

Thanks for the reply!

Contact the Magistrates' Court local to the locus of the offence and enquire as to whether any information has been laid against you.

IMHO, he has left you with a 'frightener' and not pursued the matter,

Fingers crossed, i wasnt sure if i was able to do that or even if they would know/tell me, but seems like a good idea

Thanks all

sounds like good police work to me. he made you think about speeding for quite a while to get the message home to you. If you passed the attitude test when he stopped you there is good reason to believe it was just a warning. Just have to keep your fingers crossed. Summons can come a couple of months after the six month deadline for laying information.

I understand this, this is why i want to find out if the officer put forward any information within the 6 months as i will never be able to relax :-| especially as it will have such a huge effect on me

On the good news side dqx, having points on your licence (up to 5) does not automatically preclude you from becoming an ADI.

I would agree with Al that this far down the line you might as well let time take it's course and sit tight.
