Safe Speed Forums

A Hampshire friend had an accident last December where she got 6 points and a hefty fine.

She has now received a second summons for the same offence.
Numpties!
Should she send a second class insignificant letter pleading not guilty as she has paid the fine. And then turn up in court and claim costs?

“It has never been the rule in this country – I hope it never will be - that suspected criminal offences must automatically be the subject of prosecution” He added that there should be a prosecution: “wherever it appears that the offence or the circumstances of its commission is or are of such a character that a prosecution in respect thereof is required in the public interest”
This approach has been endorsed by Attorney General ever since 1951. CPS Code

As I understand it, under UK law you cannot be tried twice for the same offence. Maybe she can sue them for threat illegal prosecution
