Am i right in thinking an SP50 means you were speeding in a 50mph zone ?

No. SP50 = Speeding on a motorway.

I wonder if it could be an opportunity to get the offence void.
You here of all sorts of minor reasons why they fail to prosecute, maybe worth a try, maybe not?

TAKE IT LIKE A MAN!!!

If you speed etc you should expect to pay the penalty to suit if caught.

And if you can get away with it due to a loophole or an administrative error, fill your boots and make the most of the oportunity to get off with it.

Worthy post, good on ya

OP: There is a chance you can get this voided but its more likely they will just correct their mistake

Any chance to try and get away with it is worth a go tho.

There are times to suck it up like a man and others to be a slippery bas

They will probably charge you to change their mistake knowing the dvla.

You could ring them up and say "I have had a SP50 added to my license but I have never broken the speed limit on the motorway, can you remove it please?" making no mention of the other infraction or the money.

Sounds like a plan to me... will ring them shortly.

zetec452 · 14 Aug 2006 at 08:56

I bet they don't remove it.

You know - I laughed once at this.
Bit like the very first time somebody wrote Micro$oft or M$.
By now however it's not so much annoying as indicative of a certain level of maturity.

Just because it was speeding on a motorway doesn't make it any less dangerous than your "funny" quote.
Ah but of course - you're a member of the "speed doesn't kill" and the "hitting people at increased speeds doesn't increase the chance of death" crew.
However even most of them have ceased with that "funny/cool" quote these days.
