Yep
You'll be fine, then. They have 14 days from the date of the infraction to post the ticket to you, so unless you have horrifically bad postmen it would have arrived by now.
Is that true?

I'm with Grim... Isn't that an urban myth?
It's not a solid date, it seems, but this website seems to think it exists.

So what's with the 14 day limit?
The 14 day limit refers to the amount of time that the Police need to process the original Notice of Intended Prosecution. There is a lot of misinformation about the 14 day rule, but the facts are:
The 14 day limit refers to the amount of time that the Police need to process the original Notice of Intended Prosecution. There is a lot of misinformation about the 14 day rule, but the facts are:
- It’s not up to the police to prove that the NIP reached the registered keeper within 14 days
- It is up to the police to be able to prove that in the normal course of events, the NIP would have arrived at the last known address of the registered keeper within the 14 day time limit

Basically so you can't use a loophole that you don't live at that address anymore or the postman was on strike.
But... if I genuinely haven't received anything and my registration is correct... I'm all clear!
Phew! That's a load off.

Unless the court summons also gets lost.

Hope she manages to get the cash together.
Any reason why the two sponsors dropped out? Seems like a brilliant opportunity for another company to step in and scoop up masses of cheap PR!

As far as I know, the "urban myth" is that you need to have received the ticket within 14 days, when actually they only have to prove that they posted it out to you within 14 days of the offence.
Could be wrong, though.

That's how both Craster and I lost our driving licences - speeding fines that we didn't know about.

And how did you findout?
I found out when we bought the Mondeo, and Ford tried to get me free insurance.
I got it back by filling in a single form and posting it off. I didn't even have to pay the speeding fine
Craster is too lazy to fill out a form

I found this out at the cottage. Perhaps you should come for longer this year and you'll find interesting stuff out too?
Indeed! I should do something about that, but y'know. The post office is well over 50 yards away.

Do you even need a driving license in London?
If you're having trouble buying drinks they can come in handy. At least until you get the bill.

Although, if I was, i'd just show my driving license. Only the po-po know it's invalid.

That's cos you look like an old codger.

Yesterday I discovered that the Mariva that we've had for years has a tyre compressor in the boot. I always thought it was something to do with that gunk you put in blown tyres but no... It blows up the tyres normally too.
Amazing.
Amazing.
Saw this, and grinned.
It's... different. I like the rev counter though.
Wish I had NOSHO in my car.
Limp mode is making appearances again. Diagnostics time, hopefully just another duff sensor somewhere.
