Speeding ticket

Post by Bendover01 »

After 20 years of no points I picked up 9 points in the space of 2 weeks from a speeding camera that was switched on.Will it affect my driving duty for royal mail.I was speeding in my own car each time doing about 35/36 in a 30.

safer driver checks are now up for renewal at ours, fill it in on the people app and guess you will find out then when you update,
though 20yrs service, driving isn't in your contract, non-drivers get faffed about less, i wouldn't be too concerned if i got taken off driving.

You are required to inform your own insurance company when you receive points. You are also contractual obliged to inform your employer if you receive points.
