Default Result, turns out my "points ticket" got lost= no points!

As my title says, i got 3 points and a 60 quid fine for a CU80(mobile phone), anyway its been 2 months and i havent had my license back, so i rang the DVLA who said they have no record for any points added, so they gave me a number to my local "penalty office", they said they had no record of me either, so they said they will ring me back in 20mins.

Phone goes after 20mins, basically they said they hadnt had the ticket meaning the points have been dropped and ill be sent a new license and a refund of my 60 quid fine.

Hows that for a result, lesson learnt, wont be doing that again.

it used to be common practice to use the phone and drive same as kids not wearing seatbelts as cars didn't have them in the back fuck the expensive cars had car phones you'll get points for smoking soon
