Points on licence, How 2 avoid
Discussion
I got this in an email and i just wondered if anyone knew if this works. Not that iam condoning speeding 
But i did get a tug on the last Pistonheads Run 
Here is what i was sent
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 full 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 !!!!!!!!!!!!

Even if you don't hold a UK licence any points for fixed penalties etc will be recorded against you by DVLA. If you hit 12 or more points you can still be disqualified in the UK under "totting up". I see it every day.
mv6 strange questin but. Do i have to have ma old points removed or can i just keep them on ma licence?

12 months and to be honest anyone flaunting this should get an instant 3 month ban
12 m0nths correct but leaving the country and comin back again isnt illegal and its not flaunting the system and to get booked dosent mean its just speeding could be anything

If you want to avoid points then get the missis to take the hit! My neighbour is just doing this as he went over a 100 leptons (71mph) for a short while overtaking a lorry and was confronted with a camera van mid take, he needs his licence for work so cant afford the possible ban.
My ex boss tried this in WA but they take forward facing pics. When the pics were zoomed in you could see his beard and hairs on his arms. Needless to say he took the hit

Be very very careful with that. If caught....purjory is a very serious offence.The easiest way to avoid points....is to stay within that list if laws about 600000000 miles long that relate to motoring and getting longer every day.
There must be more motoring laws than everything else put together ? Most created to rake in fines.
