Does the FTF ever time out?

If you can't answer that yourself from the passage you quoted, try reading the "READ THIS FIRST" sticky.

35 in a 20 limit is likely to see five points. Whilst not entirely a mathematical exercise, the band of seriousness for which the recommendation is 4-6 points covers 31-40 mph.

My brother completed the Notice of Intended Prosecution, with the agreement of the investigating officer that it was still within time to do so. Today, a letter dated 13.03.2025 was received:


"Thank you for your recent communication relating to the alleged offence involving vehicle XXXXXX on 19/09/2024 at XX:XX at XXXXXXXXXXXX.

Unfortunately, due to the high speed you was travelling at, this offence has been referred to the prosecution team . Court proceedings are being initiated and in due course you will receive a further communication which will explin the options available to you."

Is this standard procedure?

Yes.

Fixed penalties offered up to 34mph.  35mph is via court process.

It wouldn't matter if it is or not. The matter would go to court anyway. It is far too late for any other disposal (as it was when you first posted this and as I have been suggesting since post #13).

The only thing that surprises me is that the police accepted such a late nomination from your brother.

So what’s to stop the police officer or cps prosecuting for FTF, Speeding and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

With the s172 now filled out and signed the they have all the evidence they need for the other two charges.

And if they find out about the other incident where this cunning wheeze worked I foresee the op”s brother spending some time at Charlie III’s leisure.
