why do you have to hand in your license surely you get a NIP, and send your license off with that?

what you normally get for speeding, unless of course theyve pulled you over at the roadside

Is it a producer you mean?

my mate forgot to hand in his insurance when he got stopped driving my car. he got 6 points and Ł210 fine through the post as an alternative to a court appearance but a letter of explanation and his original certificate will see it quashed by the police.nothing to worry about ,just plead stupidity .

It was going to be 50 posts, but now you have mentioned it, it may become permanent.

If its a producer jusy go in asap. They will mark you down as producing late, but from experience nothing will come of it!!

As said, if you write to the court/cps if it goes that far enclosing evidence they will kill it on the spot.
