Data for road incidents

Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.24.034293

I note you seek access to the following information:

I would like to know the number of cases submitted via the Met's Road Incident portal that would have attracted a prosecution, but were unable to have a notice of intended prosecution generated within the legal time parameters allowed by law ie. 14 days of the offence.

I would like this to be cases per month for the last 18 months or as near as possible.
I would like to know how many of these resulted in taking no further action, and how many resulted in sending an advisory letter warning the driver of their actions in place of an NIP.

Decision

I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.

Please find below information pursuant to your request above.

Please see data which solely relates to the number of allegations received out of the statutory 14 day time parameters as described above.

Please note that due to the high demand in public reported incidents, the team are not currently in a position to review any cases received out of time, with the view to determine culpability and send a specific ‘advisory warning letter’.
