Free Traffic Legal Advice

Did he say what you are going to receive in this letter from TFL?

AFAIK TFL do not enforce speeding. Are you sure he didn't say you would receive something in the post 'and' also something from TFL licencing?

To answer your question, you will have 28 days to respond to either a COFP or book a speed awareness course. You might be unlucky and receive this documentation the day you go away, but outside of that there is a good chance 28 days will not have expired by the time you get back.

Alternatively you could try to contact the constabulary concerned and see if there is anything pending and let them know of you travel plans.   

I once asked ChatGPT how many time the letter 'r' appears in the word 'strawberry'. This was its response:



I'm not sure I would rely on it for competent legal advice.

  I wasn’t intending to use it for any legal advice.

I was surprised because the officer didn’t give me a ticket or anything.

They don't usually give a "ticket" at the roadside these days.

ChatGPT is plain wrong: the police can take action.

And I doubt (though could be wrong) that the police would contact TfL unless they do take action. Being "pulled over" is not an offence. At least not yet.

If the police didn't submit, whilst pulled over, a traffic offence report and sent that off to Sidcup DA15 0BQ (Met Police Camera and Prosecution Centre)... then really and truly it was just a warning. I've been pulled over after doing some speeds at night, and they said 'letter's in the post, don't ignore it' and as far as I'm aware, that is just an empty threat.

Don't quote me on this, this is just my experience. Also, if they did send a TOR, they have 6 months to issue you a NIP to your address otherwise it's unenforceable.
