Firstly for getting caught speeding, and secondly for failing to notify the DVLA of a change of address as she is legally obliged to do.
Happens fairly regularly. If you don't receive notification from the DVLA of points because you've moved and haven't told them, they will initially warn you (at the address they have for you, which you won't receive because you don't live there any more), and then after a while, because you havent responded, they will revoke your driving licence (which you still may not know about because you've failed to notify them). You are then driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence if you drive a vehicle on a road or public place. Which, if caught, means at the very least a £60 fine, 3 more points on your licence, and your car being seized on the spot with the resultant £150 recovery charge.[/QUOTE
That is exactly what happened and it cost he quite a bit of money as I think they charged so much per day storage for the car. Not complaining as she was bang to rights but just pointing out that it can and does happen. AS EK says once the 1st letter is not answered the whole situation just snowballs.
