Speeding and other criminal offences / totting ban
« on: February 17, 2025, 08:43:04 pm »
Hi, I have 9 points on my driver's licence ( all for driving around 25 to 28 mph in 20 mph zone). In Aug 2024, I received another speeding ticket for same offence. The car is under my wife's name so eventually i got issued a Fixed Penalty Notice which i did pay. A couple of weeks ago, I got issued a SJPN for the same offence; when I contacted the DVLA it was explained to me that because the offence would take me to 12 points, the FPN was issued in mistake so instead I was being served the SJPN.
I have till 26th Feb to reply to the SJPN.
I read somewhere of a 6 months statute of limitation for being taken to court.
Given that my speeding offence was on 20th Aug 2024 and I have till 26th Feb 2025 to reply to the SJPN, do i stand a chance of benefitting from this statute of limitation if i replied after 20th Feb ?
Thanks in advance
