Charlie, you need to find yourself a solicitor if you haven't done so already.

"didnt tell us when we went into dvla they simply said fill a d? thing and we will issue a photo licence "

When did you do that. Regards Peter

System works like this:

DVLA can revoke a driving licence

(1) Medical grounds.

(2) In this case it seems when one is convicted of offence involving endorsement (points - speeding)) then there is an obligation to surrender the Licence to have points endorsed on it

If DVLA are notified of points but that the Licence has not bveen surendered then they can take revocation action which invariably means a letter is sent to the address of the licence holder of this fact and that my reapplying the Licence is brought back into being. Offence to drive vehicle whilst Licence revoked.. Also gives Police power to seize vehicle

Somewhere along the line either the Licence was not surrendered or there has been an admin hic up twixt Court and DVLA.

Regarding Insurance - if the policy contains information to the effect that a person is covered for the purposes of Insurance if they hold, OR HAVE HELD a Licence to drive. Posters husband has held a Licence so Insurance will cover - no offence on this score.

I have repeatedly warned that failure to deal with matters in relation to driving documents cxan have seriuous consequences. Failing to notify change of address, to some may seem piffling, but can have s ting in the tail.

Points are put on the paper counterpart licence, as I know to my cost! There is, as yet, no way of putting points on a the plastic photocard one. If the paper licence is going to be discontinued this will have to be addressed

So if what your husband has is a paper licence why did DVLA say they couldn't put points on it?
