Hi, newbie here...
I am a Brit expat living in Thailand.
Towards the end of last year I applied for and received a UK photocard driving license, to replace my pink paper driving license.
At the time I did not notice that the counterpart to my photocard license shows an endorsement for speeding together with a fine of �135 and 3 penalty points. The date of the offence is given as 24 March 2012.
I have never had any endorsements, and also had no knowledge of the offence until recently. My passport confirms I was in Thailand on that date and for several months before and after, so I could not have committed the offence, and having obviously not paid the fine I am concerned this may result in legal complications at some future time.
Is it possible to challenge the endorsement, more than 3 years after it was issued?
On a side note, is it possible to find out the registration details of the vehicle I was supposedly driving? This would likely point to the person responsible for fingering me in my absence. I am quite sure I already know who this is, as I had allowed a homeless 'friend' to stay in my flat whilst I was travelling (I know, never again), which resulted in him stealing a load of my property and also using my credit and debit cards without my knowledge or consent to the tune of more than �10,000.
