Default What is time limit on issuing Penalty Charge Notice?

and all I have is the 'Penalty Charge
Notice' which as I said is dated 5 weeks after the alleged offence.
Is there any statute that I can refer to on this matter?


IIRC, up to six months after the alleged offence. Although, uk.legal
will no doubt be able to give the definitive answer.

28 days - see http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/locact03/30003--c.htm#6

Although they still have the option of trying for a proper conviction,
they would be stupid to attempt that for an alleged U-turn offence.
