hmm, let me think....NO
What a daft question. She got caught - take the fine and points and be done with it.

Yes easy, when the documents come through, dont sign them, then t will be made void upon receipt at the police station. They may take you to court though, but nothing will happen since the documents are not legal as they havent been signed by the accused.

Thats a little loop hole that I read in some magazine recently. Supposed to work.
Just dont sign, they cant make you sign.

apparantly if u send em a cheque for the fines and make it a few pence too much, then they have to send u a cheque back for the refund.
And they can't issue points until all the financal shite has been settled, so never cash the cheque they give u......
Have only heard this method..

you muppet, it'll just make things worse. You think the police don't know about these 'loop holes'.
They will catch you sooner or later so pay the fine and take the points. If not, it'll get worse.

Y don't you just say you weren't driving the car
They can't stick points on a license if they don't know who was driving

That's a point, what if you say that it wasn't you driving, can they still do you?

Loopholes and all that are great, but there will always be loopholes that the cops can use. Not identifying driver=witholding evidence, obtructing the course of justice, etc, etc.
If they dont do you for the speeding fines they will always find a way to get you for something.
