Speeding

how to avoid adding points to UK driving license for a speeding offense?

A friend has a problem that I thought someone here could help. He got a speeding ticket for doing 40 mph in a 30 mph zone. Has received a penalty notice of £ 60.00 and 3 points on your license. And has 3 points and only got her driver's license in the UK in September. The rule is that if you add 6 points to a license from less than 2 years, the license will revoked. He is an experienced driver (20 years +) in the U.S. and other countries. Often led last year (13 thousand miles on the clock for the past year) most of which was a matter related to the displacements {greater the unity the greater the chance of getting tickets?} He is autonomous and must drive / travel (Sometimes with passengers) quite often. So the license revocation may affect your business. Can appeal or challenge the basis points that (a) is not a new driver with less than 2 years of experience. (B) instead of adding 3 more points than he is happy to pay a higher fine. Thanks

Ok, sorry, but some of these responses are a bunch of garbage. These are the facts …. I have had many problems like this over the years with my license (we do not believe how complicated and unfair that I have!), so personally I am able to advise you about the situation. I feel very strongly about the unfairness of the system when it comes to things like this. In fact, I gained more than 6 points on my first two years, even though I drive 50,000 miles in 2 years and had a fully licensed clean until I got to level 30 thousand miles @. Anyway, I wrote a background piece of writing below which I hope that helps you both! Well, first of all is that you can not appeal to a court against an administrative revocation, (which is what this would be). You can only if you are about to purchase more 12 points. You can then invoke exceptional hardship to avoid disqualification. If you choose to accept only the points, your license in the UK probably only be automatically revoked by the DVLA's computer system. Although I'm not entirely sure if the DVLA to distinguish between poeple who recently passed their test of the 1 st time, and those who have spent the last 2 years after a full longer in another country. Your best bet for finding this would be to contact the DVLA themselves and know exactly what the rules in this regard. Their website is http://www.dvla.gov.uk. I doubt you'd find an answer to a question as complex like this on your website, so that he / she will probably be better to just calling them. You should be able to find their number on the website. If you say The acquisition of the 6 points 2 years would not cause an administrative revocation, given the situation, then he has nothing to worry about. If they say they still do, then all is not lost ….. First, as someone said here already, he might try to give its U.S. license. Although this could have dubious legality (I'm not really sure if it would be legal or not). If it is technically illegal, then I would expect it would be unlikely that any prosection would be taken even if what he had done was discovered that he could claim he did not understand the system or just lost his license in the United Kingdom as only gave them a place and not realize it would matter. However, if he has been living in the UK and driving in the UK more than 2 years your U.S. license would no longer be valid in the UK as you need to apply for a UK within 2 years *, so if it would not work for all modes. * I think it is two years anyway, although it could be 3. Once again, you should probably check with the DVLA. No need to tell you who you are if u ring these questions down the road. Just wanted to tell you a little information, so that there will be no danger of getting suspicious of being asked to all these questions. Ok, if you find that your U.S. license would no longer be valid anyway, or simply want an alternative or more information, follow …… reading As I said before, if your license is revoked, that does not mean that is disqualified, it just means that your license will be reduced to a level student pilot. He only need to pass your driving test again (both in theory and practice), and then he will be able to drive legally on their own again. No But keep in mind that the British practice driving test is one of the toughest in the world, but seen as he passed back in September may not be a problem for him. You can still drive legally in your student license, provided that acoumpanied by someone who is over the age of 21 years, and held a full UK license for at least 3 years. You must also display L plates on the front and rear of the vehicle you drive. However, if he choose to carry out the conduct of its own while a student license, though this is technically illegal, the penalty if caught was surprisingly leanient. It's just another 3 points! Simple as that! The offense would be technically "driving other than in accordance with a license." Another way around is that when write to the DVLA to ask that the return of their full license for them, he could say that he has lost. Maybe he has lost! How will you know?! Will not investigate although it may be asked to re-apply for his provisional (student) license, although it had to do it anyway. Thus, if it never stopped, only could show the full license and who would know no different. The chances of detection would be highly unlikely, though, obviously, is your decision whether or not feel comfortable with going down that road. If not, other legal options to contest the charge include speeding is an Agreement on the basis of not knowing who was driving. When was sent to the speeding ticket / NIP (Notice of prosection intended), you would have had to have asked who was driving. I could write to them and say they do not know, but ask that you provide copies of the image taken by the speed camera (assuming it was a camera). You have to provide this and if there is no case that there was sufficient evidence to prosecute and if it reached the courts simply could reasonably argue that he could not wait to see who was driving, if they can not provide an image. It is unlikely that you can oppose it on legal grounds, although it will probably be able to send the image. If they can not very well but if they do, then just stay with the quasi-legal options. If he decided to go down this road again, then basically you should only tell someone was driving it was in America. May give a false address. Or give the address of a friend and then have to ignore the letter be received. Highley is unlikely to further investigation of all because he is American! It would be even more plausable. However, this really only works if the image taken by the speed camera was behind the vehicle and did not clearly identify who was driving. If you went ahead and you can see his face, it will not be a good idea. Moreover, in any case, people who use this are those normally is about to acquire more than 12 points and face a ban of 6 months so maybe this would not be the best course of action to take. Finally just to note that in response to point B, will not allow you to pay a fine plus large, but not score points! lol. Some people are so desperate to make that will pay hundreds of pounds people to put points on your license and claim that they were heading in place (usually to avoid a full disqualification). Once again it is certainly technically illegal and would be perjury, which is another known way in which Thousands of people have about the system! Well just do what I endorse a couple of people have said …. 1.) Could be another idea for the real demand of another person I was driving and put the points on the license, (should be a good friend though!). Although, once again you should still ask a copy of the image the camera to make sure not clearly identified as the driver! 2.) It is true that if the date on which the PNV was sent more than 14 days after offense, is invalid and can not be charges filed. The date it was sent is written in it, but that does not mean it is valid only if you do not receive it within 14 days. Hope this helped!
