It's not a solid date, it seems, but this website seems to think it exists. Quote: 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:

Basically so you can't use a loophole that you don't live at that address anymore or the postman was on strike. |

I'm with Grim... Isn't that an urban myth? 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. |

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. |
