A friend has a problem that I thought someone here might help with. He got a speeding ticket for doing 40mph in a 30mph zone. He has received notice for a £60.00 fine & 3 points on his license. He already has 3 points and only got his UK driving license last September. The rule is that if 6 points are added to a license less than 2 years old, the license will be revoked.
He is an experienced driver (20 years+) in the USA & other countries. He drove frequently last year (13000 miles on the clock for last year) most of which was business related commuting {the greater the drive the greater the chance of getting tickets?} He is self employed and needs to drive/commute (sometimes with passengers) quite frequently. So revoking his licence may impact his business.
Can he appeal /challenge the points on the basis that (a) he is not a new driver with less than 2 years experience. (b) instead of the addition of 3 more points he is happy to pay an increased fine.
thanks
