 driving licence revoked - took too long to send to dvla to add points - how to renew?
Hi all
I have held a full, clean driving license for more than 9 years.
I got a fixed penalty earlier in the year for speeding with a fine and 3 points. Because I had not changed my licence address, I only realised about the fixed penalty a couple of months later (and the fine was increased along with some red letters asking for the fine!).
The fine has now been paid but because I took too long to send back the licence to the dvla (so they could add the endorsement), they have now issued a letter saying that my licence has been revoked and I need to send it back immediately.
Curiously, the letter also states that I am allowed to drive for 12 months after it has been revoked - how does this work with insurance, etc???
More importantly, what is the process for getting my licence re-instated? Is it merely a case of applying to the dvla for renewal (using a D1 form?). Would they then just send me a new licence with the endorsement added and I will be fine to drive?
All advice and help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
