Free Traffic Legal Advice

The driver (not keeper) got stopped by police for speeding on the motorway on 7th Nov, the police took his details down and advised he would get notice by post to the keepers address.

Till today, it still has not arrived. Can someone please advise what his options are?

Wait for the police to decide how they want to proceed? No further action, an offer of a course, an offer of a fixed penalty or court.

There seems to have been a communication glitch.

If the driver was warned at the roadside that "the question of prosecuting him ... would be taken into consideration" (which he almost certainly was), and the police have his details, then there is no reason for the keeper to be involved at all.

The driver (not the keeper) should receive something in the post in time. Exactly what, and the timescale, will depend (among other things) on the speed and limit. Do you know what those were?

Best case is the offer of a course, worst is court action.

His options will depend on what he receives, and they will be clearly set out therein.

I'm going to stick my head out here and say that somebody is telling porkies.

Options are currently to either -
a) do nothing as there is nothing he can do at this stage, or
b) do nothing for the same reasons.

N.B. Please don't give us any relevant information such as alleged speed and limit that would prevent us playing pointless guessing games when trying to determine what the likely next step (from the police) would be.

in which case take the advice given above, do nothing, there's nothing you can do at this stage. anyway, why should you worry about the driver?

Thanks once again, I'm a little confused, do you want to know what speed the driver was doing when he was stopped, or should I not share that?

 

“The driver” like it’s some big mystery… they identified themselves to the police FFS!

Not sure what you mean and why so much aggression like using terms like FFS.

Since the pepipoo days, the advise was to not share specific details hence why the I used the term driver and keeper, also someone mentioned above I should NOT share the alleged speed whereas another poster asked for that hence my confusion.

My intention was not to obfuscate, if some of you guys feel that way then I apologise.

If you are referring to this comment:  "N.B. Please don't give us any relevant information such as alleged speed and limit that would prevent us playing pointless guessing games when trying to determine what the likely next step (from the police) would be"  I think you might need to activate your sarcasm filter.

Of course it would help to share the speed limit...
