got caught speeding on sunday night 49mph in a 30
Just pullled away from some traffic lights accelerated changed to second gear then slowed down again. as I was turning left into a carpark. Car only travelled 100m from a standstill
30 min later a cop pulled into the carpark and asked someone to get the driver of the subaru to move it into a parking bay.
As soon as I went to move the car he called me over and gave me the good old 3 points and 60 quid fine.
I dont know why he didnt just follow me and book me right away why did he wait so long

i won't be in a position to communicate for different states, yet in Ohio, throughout the time of my 10 years as a cop, i replaced into stopped two times on a similar time as off accountability. the 1st time, I confirmed my badge and the 2nd time, I knew the cop who stopped me. did no longer get a cost ticket, yet i ought to have. there's a ninety% danger that if an off accountability cop is stopped for rushing via the state patrol, he gets a cost ticket. they're particularly strict and intensely right away. they do no longer do it to be butt heads, they do it simply by fact thats their pastime. Its like the previous asserting that if there's a reason to stop somebody, there's a reason to quote them.

The police officer was obviously busy with something else,he could have just sent you a notice instructing you to name the driver and a summons but when he became available he made the effort to deal with you .

you admitted it so its probably best to accept the fixed penalty he gave you
If you dont pay and the police have 6 months from the day of the offence to summons you to court and you can argue it there, however if your found guilty you will get the 3 points £60 fine plus court costs on top.
The choice is yours

I don't think there is a limit in the time he can take, but as he obviously didn't see who was driving (and tricked you into incriminating youself) any half decent laywer could get that ticket overturned, providing you can afford the lawyer.
Fight it - I think you've a chance of getting off!

up to three months if you are caught on a speed camera so i would think that the same applies to anything else, as long as they have proof they can do you for it for up to 3 months later
