21/01/2008 Caught by the old bill (test-riding someone elses bike)
29/07/2008 Recieve summons, plead guilty by post.
29/09/2008 Date of court hearing
01/11/2008 Still waiting to hear about sentencing.
What's going on? When someone I know got done for DD it took 14 days from start to finish. I've had this going on for nearly a year and I'm worried about what the eventual outcome will be. Are they deliberately trying to shaft me?

Letter lost in post, case dissmissed maybe.
Try contacting the court involved and see what they say.
If they had fined and issued points you should have had a letter advising you to send doc's to dvla.

| Quote: | Almost all motoring offences and many public order offences and even some involving violence are what are known as “summary” offences – that is to say they can only be dealt at the magistrates’ court.
In normal circumstances prosecutions for summary offences have to begin within six months from the date of the alleged offence. Additionally, unless you were warned of possible prosecution at the time of the offence, you must be sent a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) which should be received within 14 days of the alleged offence.
However, the law allows extensions to these periods in certain circumstances. For example, in motoring offences which have been detected without the driver being stopped, the NIP must be sent so that in normal circumstances it is received by the registered keeper within 14days. However, if it is delayed in the post, or if, say, it is eaten by the recipient’s dog, the prosecution is not automatically made void. Prosecutors are also allowed and extension to the NIP period if they can show that it took longer than usual to trace the registered keeper or the driver. Extensions to the six month overall period are more difficult to secure but are sometimes allowed.
You should also bear in mind that six months is the time allowed only for the prosecution to begin – which normally means a first hearing date in court. Many cases take much longer than this to reach a conclusion.
Finally, the failure of a defendant to respond to any paperwork relating to either the NIP or the court case itself so that the six month deadline is passed will not normally lead to the case being “timed out”. In these circumstances the prosecution may go ahead in the absence of the defendant. When he is finally informed of the court’s decision it will be for him to show why he failed to respond |
I guess that now it has been to court though, it's a bit late for the above. I would suggest getting in touch with the court that heard the case to find out the outcome. |
