How to use the new share a driving licence service

From 8th June 2015, DVLA will stop issuing the paper counterpart to the photocard driving licence.

If as a business or organisation you need to check someone’s driving record you can do so using Share Driving Licence.

There are 2 steps to this new service.

Step
1. The driver licence holder will need to log on to the View Driving
Licence service and click on Share Driving Licence. This will generate a
unique one-time use access code that the driver will need to share with
you, along with the last 8 digits of their driving licence number.

Here
the driving licence holder will also have the option to download a
summary of their driving licence information and access code.

Step
2. Once in receipt of the access code you may use this in conjunction
with the last 8 digits of the driving licence number to view the latest
driving licence information from the DVLA. This free, 24/7 service will
be available at www.gov.uk.

Drivers with old style paper driving licences issued before 1998 can also use the Share Driving Licence service.

For more information on these changes and the abolition of the counterpart visit www.gov.uk/dvla/nomorecounterpart.

Could Bad driving in Europe soon be punished in UK courts?

British motorists caught speeding in their own vehicles in Europe could soon have fines sent to their home addresses and be pursued in UK courts, under new plans to let European Union states access our motoring records for the first time.

At the moment British motorists who commit driving offences in other EU countries can be fined only if stopped by a police officer at the roadside. Those whose offences in their own vehicles are caught on camera tend to get away without any sort of punishment, however drivers of hire cars are often traced through their rental companies.

This week that could all change as the European Parliament will vote on a range of measures that will give national police forces the power to send out fines across Europe – and pursue offenders through the courts of their home countries.

Under the new rules, If a driver commits an offence in another country, that state may use their car’s registration number to access their personal data to send out a letter in the driver’s own language, demanding payment and threatening court action if they do not pay the fine.

The new Bill will be the first time that all 28 EU countries take part in cross-border information exchanges. Under the law, British police will also be able to pursue foreign motorists for traffic and speeding fines if they have left the UK.

An earlier law, which Britain had opted out of, was struck down by the European Court of Justice on an administrative technicality. However, the new directive, which was proposed by the European Commission in May, does not allow for Britain to use its opt-out.

Dad caught speeding at 80mph in 30mph-zone while racing home to sick daughter is spared lengthy ban

facebook Image

Ricky Bunting was snapped by a speed camera doing almost 80mph in a 30mph zone while he was racing home to get to his sick daughter who had stopped breathing

The 23-year-old had been alerted to his child’s condition by his girlfriend who had called him and told him little Ava had turned blue, Rotherham Magistrates Court heard.
He then rushed the lifeless two-month old to hospital in his van where she was diagnosed with severe bronchitis.

She made a full recovery after treatment, although she has been in and out of hospital since with breathing problems.

Ricky, from Wath-upon-Dearne, South Yorkshire, pleaded guilty to the speeding offence in May last year

Magistrates were told the speed would usually warrant an automatic and lengthy disqualification.
They added it was well over sentencing guidelines for speeding offences.

Phil Jones, mitigating, said Ava's condition was not a special reason for discretion over a banning order as it wasn't a medical emergency as defined in law.

Mr Jones asked magistrates to ban Mr Bunting for two weeks while he was one holiday from working, meaning he would not lose his job.

But he added: “It explains why he was driving so quick, but doesn't excuse it.
“yes, he was driving extremely quickly, yes it is unacceptable and should be punished and if you were to impose such a disqualification he could remain in employment.”

Magistrates told Bunting it was a “very dangerous” speed.
He was handed a £400 fine with £85 costs.
He also received a two week ban from driving.

After the hearing Ricky said: “Everyone's doing fine now and it's a relief not to be banned for longer and risk losing my job.”

£60 fine and 3 license points for driving with snow on car roof

http://www.speedyreg.co.uk

Driving with snow on your car roof could land you with a £60 fine and three points on your license.
find it hard to believe? check rule 229 of the Highway Code

Rule 229 states before you set off

• You MUST be able to see, so clear all snow and ice from all your windows
• You MUST ensure that lights are clean and number plates are clearly visible and legible
• Make sure the mirrors are clear and the windows are demisted thoroughly
• Remove all snow that might fall off into the path of other road users
• Check your planned route is clear of delays and that no further snowfalls or severe weather are predicted

Police say motorists could be prosecuted for careless or inconsiderate driving if they are involved in an accident and it is deemed that snow on the roof was a factor.

Motorists could face a £60 fine and three points on their license if snow on the roof of their car contributes to an accident. This could apply if snow falls forward onto a driver’s windscreen, obscuring the view, or backwards causing a hazard for motorists travelling behind them.

A Suffolk Police spokesman said: ‘Many people are not aware of the hazard that snow on their cars can cause. Falling snow can be dangerous for all road users.’
Rule 229 of the Highway Code states, in a section entitled ‘driving in adverse weather conditions’, that snow should be removed from your car.

The full rule says: ‘Before you set off you MUST be able to see, so clear all snow and ice from all your windows. You MUST ensure that lights are clean and number plates are clearly visible and legible, make sure the mirrors are clear and the windows are demisted thoroughly.

‘Remove all snow that might fall off into the path of other road users. Check your planned route is clear of delays and that no further snowfalls or severe weather are predicted
