I don't want to waffle on so i'll make it short as possible.
In a momentarily lapse in concentrating on my speed whilst towing my caravan through a narrow village I received a Speeding fine for 38mph in 30mph zone. My first in 40yrs of careful and considerate driving.
Paid it and received return of licence and counterpart with the wrong code on it. Instead of SP30 it reads
SP80 a none existing offence code.
I have told them as I did not want a 'Stop and produce' to accuse me of altering it.
Anyway the point is
'Technically' it's a wrong and none existing offence If there are any solicitors looking in have I a case for having the offence squashed on 'technical grounds' as is carried out in criminal courts?.
I would add I had no idea on receipt it was the wrong code it was an insurance company who said it's wrong Quote.... 'and if you haven't declared it on website insurers 'Convictions list' you will be driving without cover and if you have an accident they won't pay out'. end quote
So I was very close to driving illegally because of the wrongly entered information on my licence. you may gather I was searching for the best cover in the West on the Internet and bypassed several 'Convictions list as the code of SP80 did not show on four lists.
They have asked me to return it so they can alter it but I have refused until convinced the endorsement cannot or will not be removed altogether.
