To object to a friend taking the points for her partner's speeding violation?

[Longstocking2]

Even if it is possible?
That's fraud isn't it?

I'm not in UK. 2 points, no photo of driver. So yes, no big deal for me as a once off.

Yes it is against the law, also need to remember the insurance especially if you get found out you wod have to declare it.

FlorenceCalamityandJoanofArc fraud doesn't bother you then?

If not in the UK then would be interested to know what the penalty would be if found out? Not big and not clever imo

Who'll find out what? That several years ago I didn't put another name on a form that came in my name, for points that are now spent? I won't lie awake worrying anyway.

Who said it was big or clever? I just think you're all being a bit sanctimonious about it.

Sanctimonious = disapproving of fraud/dishonesty then.

It's not so much that I disapprove of the fraud- more that I object to the sense of entitlement of the (often male) driver who expects you to absorb his incompetence.

Show her this

Judge got 3 years for precisely this. :o

nobody expected me to do anything. Fixed penalty notice came in my name, big long form if you need to nominate the driver if someone else, dh's work its better if he has a clean license. So I didn't assign the points to him, big whoop. Fine was paid, very much doubt anyone would care, police here wouldn't give a bollox.

OTOH Helen Archer seems to be doing OK.

If you're not bothered, Flo, I'm not. But I don't expect to be told "No biggie" and to suck it up when it's my own licence unjustly in jeopardy.

totally agree with you there bof.

I can't believe this would be a 'one off' either. An habitual speedster one caution away from losing a licence should have the thought of a consequence of further speeding. And allowing a fraud act to help get away with it means he avoids the responsibility now, which gives a permisson to do it again later on.

yes OP, I'd object but wouldn't tell them as much. Just not agree with them if they raised it, and why. As expat says, speed kills, and often children. Adults can recover better due to bulk. (tho' kids do sometimes bounce off cars better.)

also YABU for using the word 'violation' in the title. It's an 'offense' anywhere outside of N. America.. Or was he done by CHiP?

Oh, I remember CHiPs! I loved the dark-haired one

Bat your eyelids and you'd get off with a 'warning', I'm sure.
