Speeding Fines Not really Jokes and Humour

[Diesel Kate]

Just thought I would share this with you, as you know I work in the speeding fine department in Swindon's Magistrate's Court and in the course of my investigation into 'fines, their payment methods and how points are automatically added against drivers licences' we discovered something very interesting 'If You Get a Speeding Fine.'

This has been tried and it works.

I have tried to send this to everyone I know. I know for a fact that it works so if you ever get in this situation, you have an out. We discovered that this procedure works nationwide. Read it and try it, you have nothing to lose but the points on your licence.

This is how it works:

If you get a speeding ticke t or went through a red light or whatever the case may be, and you are going to get points on your licence, then there is a method to ensure that you DO NOT get any points. When you get your fine, send in the cheque to pay for it and if the fine is say, £40, then make the cheque out for £41 or some small amount over the fine. The system will then have to send you back a cheque for the difference, but here is the trick!

**DO NOT CASH THE REFUND CHEQUE!!!** Throw it away!! Points are not assessed to your licence until all financial transactions are complete.. If you do not cash the cheque then the transactions are NOT complete. However, the system has got its money and is happy and will not bother you any more. This information came to our attention from a very reliable computer company that sets up the standard database used by each county's computing system.

Good luck and share this with all your friends and other family members as well!!

Update on speeding fine. sorry to report it does not work. I did exactly as mentioned and sent a cheque for £61.00 and got back by return of post A £1.00 cheque telling me I had overpaid and three points on licence.
I still have the cheque for £1.00 (think I'll frame it) points hand written on licence.

[Diesel Kate]

Worth A try

[drexl1234]

Ok then, my turn! Think i will give it a go! Just got a speeding fine! £60 and 3 points!!
Dave, if you hadnt have posted i would have forgotten all about it, so with nothing to lose i will try as above - watch this space!!!!

I will be interesting to find out what happens Abi.
Did you get the option of a speed awareness course instead of points on your licence?
