Fixed penalty driving conviction points dodge??
Hope the mods dont mind me posting this, please delete if this is deemed unsuitable, I merely looking for confirmation that this is false information.
I Saw this on another forum, my initial thoughts are.. load of Balloney !! as you wouldnt get your licence back until the conviction was processed. It went as follows....
"I tried to send this to everyone I know. I know that for a fact is 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 license.
This is how it works:
If you get a speeding ticket 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, for example £30. Then make the cheque out for £31 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 gotten 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!!! "

i belive that it s rubbish, although i think it perhaps stemmed from truth, maybe a few years ago it would have worked but if it ever did the loophole is well and truly closed now, as is not signing things, not declaring who was driving etc, in fact some of these things wil get you extra points and fines!
"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

Old wives tail which existed in Australia as well.
Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

It was was believed to be true in the States as the computer would not procced until everything was finalized.
As with all good ways of beating the system, the people in control find out & remedy the situation.
It wouldn't hurt to try it but don't expect it to work because in time it would be caught.2008 ESPN Stockcar Challenge MSF Champion :D

If you get flashed by a speed camera, simply reverse back through it and it will automatically undo your ticket.
That's true, that is. I read it on the internet.

Tänak got 20 points closer to Evans, but as the main reason was a bad rally for Evans, I would say that Evans lost 20 points to Tänak, not Tänak gained. The point is, if the other one does not...
