I was pulled over by two police men on my own yesterday & accused of something that i i felt i did not do.
I was then issued with 3 points & a 60 quid fine, & a producer at the station for MOT,Insurance,Driving Licence, to be done in 7 days.....
Trouble with the above is, I moved house about a year ago & lost my old style Licence in the process, it has since been found, but I have not got around to updating it.
One copper noticed that the address for my Licence that came up on his system was different to the one I gave him at the roadside which is the new one & the one that the vehicle is registered to.
They told me to surrender my Licence at the station & that DVLA will send me information on how to apply for a new photo style Licence, which will then be sent to me with the 3 points on it.
What I want to know is that by surrendering my old licence with my old address on it, am I leaving myself open to another fine or penalty for this mistake?
OR shall I send it off to DVLA myself ASAP to get it renewed, & present at the station a photocopy of my old one saying it is in the process of being updated/renewed by the DVLA?
Cheers Dee
