My first offence in 5 years and I need a clean licence for work, so I'm pretty gutted :-(
They've sent me the notice but the DVLA have my name spelt wrong- REBEKAM. On my license it is spelt Rebecca. I am intending to sell the car in the next few weeks.

Anyone think there is a cheeky way out of this one?! ;)

Thanks

    Doubt it if its an FPN.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    I'm guessing they got the surname right though :D

    You really *need* a clean licence for work? I'd doubt they'd be legally allowed to sack you just because you have three points?

    If you have gone through a red light I have no sympathy.
    Nature wants the human race to survive. However, it does not depend on us because we are not its only invention.
