On social networks, some praise this technique allowing not to lose points following an offense on the road. But does the game are worth the candle?
Any driver benefits from a maximum capital of 12 points on his driving license. But beware, at each traffic offense, these points are gradually deleted, and it can go very quickly. Indeed, the non-compliance with the stop at the red light, the stop or the “yield the passage” is worth 4 points less. If you drive a little too fast, the police can remove you between 1 and 6 points, in addition to the fine, depending on the speed at which you drive. Finally, a telephone held in hand during driving is worth three points of withdrawal … to allow road users not to go through a point recovery course or worse, to have their license withdrawn for these offenses, videos run on social networks.
Julie, lawyer in driving license, unveils on Tiktok advice number 1 to preserve her driving license points in the event of an offense. According to her, a simple mail would allow only to have the fine to pay. If you have been flashed on the highway for example, “Don’t pay right away“, advises the specialist.”You will explain that you are the owner of the vehicle, but that you do not know who was driving on that date, that you are unable to identify it, and that you regularly lend your car. “ In addition, the owner has no obligation to denounce a particular person, she adds.
Then you just have to join the original of the fine as well as the blue form, by checking box 3 and sending everything by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt. Remember to take a photocopy of your documents and to respect the deadline: you have 45 days from the date of the ticket. “”With that, you are not going to lose points: it works on all automated controls on individual vehicles“, Assures the lawyer.
In another video, Maître Yohan Dehan, lawyer at the Paris bar, also confirms that in theory, “No one can have points with an automatic radar withdrawn, even if it flashes from the front, to the extent we have not been arrested“, He explains. Indeed, no one can know that it is indeed the owner who was driving at this precise moment, even if a person looks like us in the photo.
However, this fraudulent technique is not really sure and nothing prevents legal permit with a more expensive fine. Nevertheless, some motorists sometimes prefer to pay a higher fine instead of losing the few points they have left, or to be removed their driving license …
