about this time last year I was caught speeding twice in the space of four minutes on the Grantham stretch of the A1.
After taking professional advice I was encouraged to challenge the NIPs and appeal to have them considered as a single continuous offence.
I received a letter along with the fines and points notifications stating that they were not inclined to agree and that it would be six points and £200.
I was a bit miffed but did not take it further as court could have finished with 12 points and over £1000 in fines. So thinking nothing of it I paid the fines and sent back all the paperwork. I received the paperwork back and both forms were stamped "endorsed".
Now, come renewal time I changed insurer and they asked for a copyy of my on line licence summary and lo and behold it comes back showing only one offence and only three points recorded.
So do I just assume that some kind heated soul at the DVLA has seen the outrageous thieving scummery of Lincolnshire plod for what it was and overruled their decision hence only recording one offence.
Or, do I assume that our impeccable and tirelessly diligent public servants at the DVLA have allowed their performance to deviate from their normal level of infallibility and have on this occasion made an error.
Of course I'd hate to cast doubt on them but should I call and check or leave well alone in the safe assumption that the DVLA are the fount of wisdom and unimpeachability that we are all accustomed to?
