How long after a caution

[impact5]

If you were cautioned for a motoring offence which you argued and made a statement that i was not involved in the accident (someone said i reversed into them) the incident happened 14 feb 07, cautioned around start of april. how long do you have to wait....many thanks

[bednobs]

wait for what? if you were cautioned it means you accepted guilt.

Sorry. The police will caution you before they ask you questions , does that mean you are quilty no matter what you say

[noseyno]

Should that be ******* ....bednods are you saying, your quilty if you are cautioned.....our prison would be full if you are correct

Sorry if it was not to clear I was interviewed under caution. I denied the alleged offence. question is how long do I wait ,to know if I am going to be charged. Is there a time limit

There is a time limit of six months from the date of the alleged offence to "lay an information" (that is, to start proceedings) at the magistrates' court for "summary" offences. (Almost all motoring offences are "summary" - that is they can only be dealt with at the magistrates' court).
