Hi all,

Apologies tried to post this is the relevant forum but didn’t have permission.

My partner was recently caught speeding (81mph in a 70) and recently recieved a notice from North Yorkshire Police. When she went to complete the form she has realised that her licence expired in July 2021. She is going into the post office tomorrow to start her driving licence renewal (can’t do it online as passport has expired). She is then planning to ring the force tomorrow and explain everything honestly.

Just after some thoughts on whether she’ll just be given speed awareness (meets eligiblity) or whether they’ll also apply the fine for an expired licence? It was a speed camera, not stopped by the police. Any advice much appreciated, have a great evening.

She could try playing the 'Covid' card in a plea for leniency...
