Hi
Let me please explain:
Recently I was parked up at a red traffic light and briefly went on my phone (opened a notification, and read it (15ish seconds). As I went on my phone a police car pulled up next to me and flashed me with a light. They proceeded to ask if I was on my device and I said that I was and apologised.
They asked me to pull over around the corner and we discussed what happened and the informed me I would receive 200 pound fine + 6 points. (I have never been fined/had points before)
Some more information:
-I have had my driving licence since Aug 2013 (0 fines)
-I am South African and had a SA licence since June this year until I traded it for a UK licence.
- I have had my UK licence since June 2018 (0 points)
- I have a few questions!
I know that if you have had your licence for less than 2 years you are only allowed 6 points (I have had my Uk licence for less that 2 years, but have had a drivers for more than 5)
I also received my fine/info in the post and I would like someone to make sense of it please! are they saying I just need to pay a fine or are they saying I have lost my licence + fine??
Please help,
Sorry if this isnt very clear
