Hi,
I hope this is ok to put here, as i'm looking for a little bit of advice.
Can anyone confirm what offence should be found on the summons for driving with an expired licence (ie over 10 years old)?
I got stopped for speeding in Feb 2010 and my licence had expired in Sept 2009 (As far as I can remember I never received a letter asking me to update my photo).
A couple of days ago I received a summons for:
1. Drove a motor vehicle otherwise in accordance with a licence authorising you to drive a motor vehicle of that class. Contrary to section 87 (1) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 and Schedule 2 to the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988. (offence carries penalty points).
2. Speeding - exceeding 60mph - Local Order - manned equipment. Sections 84 and 89 (1) Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and Schedule 2 of the RTOA 1988 (offence carries penalty points)
After checking the internet I think charge 1 is incorrect (as I'm entitled to a licence until 70yrs old), as according to the DVLA etc I may have commited an offence under section 99 (2A) of the RTA 1988 for not surrendering licence. This charge is not on my summons.
see this dvla link for just one example of this: https://www.dft.gov.uk/dvla/~/media/pdf/pub... today33.ashx
I have to fill in my form with a plea, so do I go Guilty or not guilty for charge 1?
thanks
Tom
