O/T - Help please re. speeding ticket!
Hi Ladies
Can anyone help me out please...
Does anyone know if when you get a speeding ticket do you have to sign somewhere when you send it back to agree that it was you speeding and you agree to pay the fine/have points on liscense?
Think my hubby's work may be trying to pull a fast one on him with a speeding fine for a company car....
Thanks, NN xxx

Just explain your concerns and they should send you the pic.

This morning his dad tells him that there's a speeding fine for this certain car from 2 months ago but that they've paid it but that my husband will be having the points on his lisence. It could have been either him or his dad as they shared the driving that evening (although we haven't seen the exact date of fine - we just have to take their word for it)
So apparently all the paper work has been sent off now so we can't request the photo. I would have thought hubby would have had to sign something or send off both parts of his lisence? Unfortunately the paper part of his lisence was at his mum and dads house. As you can tell neither of us have ever had a speeding ticket before!
The things is I know that his dad has points on his lisence already and last year claimed his wife was driving to avoid getting more points...now we think this is what they're doing again but with hubby and without telling him!
Also, hubby is on my car insurance too - will this make the price go up?
Thanks, a very annoyed NN xx
is your hubbys driving licence registered at yours or in laws address? i think you have to send both parts off, (ive never had points but my mum has and im sure they update both)
some people are well cheeky!
My boss was done for speeding last month and the notice was posted within 2 weeks, we had to sign to say who the driver was and his postal address, they then send the form direct to the driver who has to sign to agree/disagree he was driving, usually this is sent with a conditional fine offer and states the penalty points.
If unsure ask who the letter was from (which authority) and give them a call
It sounds like an awful situation you are in!!
The driver HAS to sign it. If your PIL has told DVLA your OH was driving then OH should get a letter for him to sign which he obviously hasn't. IF PIL has sorted it then he HAS to have forged your OH's signature.
Family or no family - thats wrong!!!

The owner of the car receives a letter and if they weren't the person driving, they complete a part of the form / letter and send it back.
The person driving then gets the same letter (obviously a fresh copy with their details on!) which they complete and send back signing to confirm they were the driver.
This happened to hubby when I was driving his company car... his fleet management company got the letter and dished it out to hubby (as its his car but I was insured to drive it), hubby completed the form saying I was driving and then a week or two later I got the same letter to complete and return. I got a fine and 3 points.
I might be going out on a limb saying this but I am 99.999999% sure this is what happens EVERYWHERE. Your hubby can't just be GIVEN the fine and points.
Its sounds VERY dodgy to me - I'm sorry!!!
Good luck xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This isn't the first time they've screwed us over, believe me!
I will try and ask his mum about it and see if I get any better answers. It's a really horrible situation because of family dynamics and my hubby feels really uncomfortable with situations they keep putting him/us in. If he could leave his job he'd be out of there in a shot, but it's just not an option right now
Thanks again for all your help and advice. I thought it would be resent out to hubby and he'd have to sign it. I had also heard that it was meant to be originally sent out within 2 weeks....whole thing sounds dodgy to me!
AGHHHHHHH.

p.s they have to re-send the form to the driver as the letter/penalty address and driving licence address must match!
