avoid points on licence??

[BaileyMex]

Got this on email,

 

Probably bullshit but worth a read I guess

 

Only accountants could come up with this one

 

Pay your fine, but, NO POINTS DEDUCTED, !!

 

Read on :-

 

This is how the points get added to your licence:

 

If you get a fixed penalty notice through the post which also carries penalty points the computer system first sends you a demand for the cash.

 

When you have paid, it then sends a demand to return your licence for endorsement.

 

It cannot handle the licence endorsement and the payment at the same time, and it cannot process the points part of the system until the financial section is complete.

 

If you overpay the fixed penalty, it must issue and send a refund cheque for the overpayment.

 

Therefore, overpay the fixed penalty by sending a cheque for the ful l amount plus ?1.

 

The computer will then automatically generate a refund cheque for the over-payment and send it to you.

 

**** Do not cash this refund cheque - DUMP IT.

 

 

The system then remains 'open' and cannot generate the 'send your licence for endorsement' demand part of the program.

 

It does, however, record your payment of the fixed penalty, so it does not trigger the 'follow-up unpaid fine' stage.

 

As there is no human intervention, the system will leave you alone, since it has got your money, which is the primary objective!

 

 

CIRCULATE THIS WIDELY !!!!!!!!!!!!

pick a random name out of the obituary column and say they were driving, that one actually works, but only the once

[MightySprocket]

Or pick a name out of the phone book, and an address from a different column, send it off and wait for them to write and found out it wasn't them. It helps if you have a van in a company name. Allegedly.......

what about the flash on the speed camera

[richie_stix]

paying the fine is admiting to guilt... in this country we are innocent till proven guily... it's a bit of a trick, as you are technically not guilty till you get seen in court (as far as I'm aware)?

I seem to remember that this type of motoring offence is excluded from the 'right to remain silent' thing so wouldn't be surprised if you ARE guilty of being caught by a speed camera.

[NginEEr]

if you get flashed set fire to the camera . ive never tried it but worth a try lol

[FredTransit]

The French tried that, in the end they took em all down! Sometimes you gotta love the French.....
