Okay this summer I was zapped doing 40 in a 30. However I was working on HMS Illustrious when the letter came through. I have returned it electing for the speed awareness course however it will get there after the 28 day mark. Since my circumstances prevented me from responding in time can any legally astute members tell me what will likely happen?.

Thanks in advance.

My friend returned the letter straight to the courthouse (or wherever) 32 days after it had been revieved, he went in and told them that it was late and they said to him AND I QUOTE...

"You are aware that its 28 business days? Weekends and bank holidays don't count towards this..."

I think you'll be fine.

I certainly hope so. Even so it will still be close. I am sure I can argue reasonable diligence in any case.

Are you talking about the Section 172 demand to incriminate yourself?

RTA 1988 Section 172 wrote:

(7)A requirement under subsection (2) may be made by written notice served by post; and where it is so made—
(a)it shall have effect as a requirement to give the information within the period of 28 days [Note: not working days] beginning with the day on which the notice is served, and
(b)the person on whom the notice is served shall not be guilty of an offence under this section if he shows either that he gave the information as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of that period or that it has not been reasonably practicable for him to give it.


I think you're pretty safe. Thumbs Up
