Default points and fines read this does it work?

Speeding

Just thought I would share this with you, as you know I work in the
speeding fine department in Swindon's Magistrate's Court and in the
course of my investigation into "fines, their payment
methods, and how points are automatically added against drivers licences"
we discovered something very interesting "If You Get a Speeding Fine."
This has been tried and it works I tried to send this to everyone I know.
I know that for a fact is works so if you ever get in this situation, you
have an out. We discovered that this procedure works nationwide. Read it
and try it, you have nothing to lose but the points on your license.

This is how it works:
If you get a speeding ticket or went through a red light or whatever the
case may be, and you are going to get points on your
licence, then there is a method to ensure that you DO NOT get any points.
When you get your fine, send in the cheque to pay for it and if the fine
is say, ?0, then make the cheque out for ?1 or some small amount over
the fine. The system will then have to send you back a cheque for the
difference, but here is the trick!

**DO NOT CASH THE REFUND CHEQUE!!!** Throw it away!!

Points are not assessed to your licence until all financial transactions
are complete. If you do not cash the cheque, then the transactions are
NOT complete. However, the system has gotten its money and is happy and
will not bother you any more.

This information came to our attention from a very reliable computer
company that sets up the standard database used by each county's
computing system.
Good luck and share this with all your friends and other family members
as well!!!
Got this from a friend via email just wondered if its aspoof or a genuine trick....must come from America because it mentions COUNTY

You may mock

But several years ago, I inadvertently jumped a red light, got stopped by the police and got the ticket, 3 points and 30 quid fine

i sent my cheque off and surrendered my license, (cheque was post dated )

Cheque got returned something to do with not accepting post dated cheques, so sent another one, and I got stopped again and said the police had my license for endorsment blah blah blah

So I phoned up the Met (who had my license) and said I needed it to produce it, so he decided to send me my license back unendorsed, and also refunded my fine

Worth a read if it worked...

As Sonic said... several years ago it might have worked

Ah well. Thanks for sharing (sarcasm not involved this time for a change, honest )

True... That is unforgivable and punishable by wingdings

As for the 1990's urban legend...
