Default Hand Written penalty points??

A mate of mine got done for speeding (good ol' SD30)

he sent his license away.

When it came back the points had simply been hand written on it!

Do you think its on there computer system?

Someone I might know (*cough*) got 5 points in 1997 on their licence and when they got the licence back, the points were handwritten on
When that person lost the licence (they did really lose it as well) , they applied for a new one which came back without the 5 points

So it does/can happen !!

I've got 3 points which are hand written on but they come off in march anyway. If you've got hand written points it sound like the 'opps I've lost my licence' is worth a try.

Doesnt matter what it says on your licence, all records are now kept on a national database that your Insurance Company is allowed access to which is why not many Ins Co's ask for a copy of your licence anymore.

Ps: Ive had 3 hand written, and 6 stamped
