Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: Is my Postal Requisition Valid?
« on: August 14, 2024, 05:38:33 am »I'm sorry I didn't mean to drip feed. I was confused because the incident date was 31st january. I thought postal requisition 6 month timer started from that date.The date of the original incident (speeding) may well have been 31 January but you have not been charged with speeding, it would appear that you have been charged with the offence of failing to identify the driver at the time of the alleged speeding incident [on one or other of the NIP's you say you were sent - these would have incorporated a s.172 requirement to identify the driver].
The date of 6/3/24 is a notional offence date calculated by allowing time, after the offence, for the s.172 requirements to have been prepared, served on you (by post) and for you to have replied within the time limit set out on the NIP/s.172 i.e. 28 days from the day on which the notice was served.
You were not charged on 6 March but at the time of the postal requisition. The charge being that "On 6th March you (in terms) failed to provide details... etc.
Hope that clarifies things.
As AF and Southpaw have suggested, if you would like more assistance then you are going to have to provide a detailed timeline setting out what documents were received when; how and when you replied and what details you provided to the police.
