It's pretty simple, they have to impose a limit of some sort. Otherwise many people would continue to forget.
Penalty points are doubled in court, .. I'm not sure if the judge has discretion over this, I think he may do.
I'm also in the same boat. I forgot to pay my fine within the 56 days. When I discovered my error, I rang them to pay and was told that they could not accept the payment and that I would be receiving a summons for court.
What annoys me most about this system is that instead of me being allowed to pay my fine and accept my penalty points, I now have to go to Court and waste my time, my solictor's time, the judge's time, a Garda's time etc.
What a waste of tax payers money. Surely there has to be a better system than this? Why can't they accept the fine after 56 days and cancel the summons?
So, basically the system that exists now but with a reminder that the initial 28 day period has elapsed and it's next stop court.
The extract you quote does not say the points are doubled after the first 28 days.
What was the outcome for you Guns N Roses and for you tml? My partner now in same situation re trying to may payment after the 56 day period, only collected post and found the fine at weekend from tenanted house as lives with me, the payment date was up and tried to pay in Post office and received a payment rejection receipt, also tried in Garda station and told they can only take payment up to 56 days.
Tried emailing court officer to ask, but no responce yet, did ye have to go to court? What happened with fine and points?
I would expect your case has fell through the cracks and has been forgotten about.Even though it's been over 15 months since I forgot to pay the fine, I have yet to receive a summons to appear in Court. I assume the Courts are very busy.
