DRIVING
LICENCES
Caught speeding in Britain!
We hear from a woman who discovered a NI licence is not acceptable.
Why? Well, penalty points for N Ireland drivers caught speeding
in Britain have been confusing and complicated for years now. Here
on Your Behalf we’ve dealt with numerous queries from listeners
who’d been told they couldn’t pay a fixed penalty, but
would have to go to court across the water, because of their N Ireland
issued licence. The problem was a matter of law – Driving
licences issued in GB and NI are, like many other matters, governed
by different legislation.
Now the law has changed but it’s just as confusing.
On Your Behalf finds out from a spokesman for Policy and Legislation
Manger with DVLNI what’s going on.
For information about your
driving licence you should check out the DVLNI
