Received this email today:

Just thought I would share this with you, as you know I work in the
speeding fine department in Swindon 's Magistrate's Court and in the course
of my investigation into 'fines, their payment methods, and how points are
automatically added against drivers licences' we discovered something very
interesting 'If You Get a Speeding Fine.'
This has been tried and it works I tried to send this to everyone I know.
I know that for a fact is works so if you ever get in this situation, you
have an out. We discovered that this procedure works nationwide. Read it
and try it, you have nothing to lose but the points on your license.
This is how it works:
If you get a speeding ticket or went through a red light or whatever the
case may be, and you are going to get points on your licence, then there
is a method to ensure that you DO NOT get any points. When you get your
fine, send in the cheque to pay for it and if the fine is say, £40, then
make the cheque out for £41 or some small amount over the
fine. The system will then have to send you back a cheque for the
difference, but here is the trick!
**DO NOT CASH THE REFUND CHEQUE!!!** Throw it away!!
Points are not assessed to your licence until all financial transactions
are complete. If you do not cash the cheque, then the transactions are NOT
complete. However, the system has gotten its money and is happy and will
not bother you any more.
This information came to our attention from a very reliable computer
company that sets up the standard database used by each county's computing
system.
Good luck and share this with all your friends and other family members
as well!!!

Transaction-wise , that's pretty correct since i study computer science and databases ... but you have to do with real people here... dump or not they arent working as computers... dunno how much this works... but it got a logic i can admit...

Prolly a yank car with a 4 speed gear box isn't reverse the same speed as first gear or is that a myth.

How was it a joke? What other reason is there to drive at 88.8 mph except to time travel? Now if you had made a reference to accidentally time traveling back to the dinosaur age like calvin and hobbes it would have made this thread:

Back to points, when do they come off your license, is it they stay on it for 4 years but actually are dead after 3, or visa versa??

I'm currently carrying 9 of the buggers....oops

Should not get points at 32 you meant to have 10% variance for dodgey speedos.

And i think when you are given points they will tell you how long they last ect.
