Pay your fine, but, NO POINTS DEDUCTED, !!
Read on :-
This is how the points get added to your licence:
If you get a fixed penalty notice through the post which also carries penalty points the computer system first sends you a demand for the cash.
When you have paid, it then sends a demand to return your licence for endorsement.
It cannot handle the licence endorsement and the payment at the same time, and it cannot process the points part of the system until the financial section is complete.
If you overpay the fixed penalty, it must issue and send a refund cheque for the overpayment.
Therefore, overpay the fixed penalty by sending a cheque for the full amount plus £1.
The computer will then automatically generate a refund cheque for the over-payment and send it to you.
**** Do not cash this refund cheque - DUMP IT.
The system then remains 'open' and cannot generate the 'send your licence for endorsement' demand part of the program.
It does, however, record your payment of the fixed penalty, so it does not trigger the 'follow-up unpaid fine' stage.
As there is no human intervention, the system will leave you alone, since it has got your money, which is the primary objective!Practice safe eating - always use condiments.

Don't think it works. I saw something on 5th gear once about getting out of speeding tickets and that was one of them, can't remember what they do in this case but you still get the points.

I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Do you mean don't speed inappropriately, or don't exceed the posted speed limit?
As an example, yesterday during a very heavy downpour of rain, I felt it inappropriate to exceed 45mph on the M5 despite the legal limit being 70mph. Yet on Thurs. night the M4 was dry, visibility was good for nightime, traffic was light & at times I found it appropriate to drive at speeds in excess of the NSL.
