pstenson123 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Hi pw massive, Just a quick question, my firearms renewal is due! Is it worth trying to renew as I've picked up some speeding fines or will it be ok to renew?? Thanks in advance. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Speeding (as long as no injuries or excessive) whilst taken into account is not normally a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett1985 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 good question, and one that has a lot of variables. I think it all comes down to the specifics of the offence and the attitude of the chief of police. I know of several people who have picked up speeding tickets and points and it hasn't affected anything, one of whom was caught doing over 100 mph and narrowly avoided a ban. send your local FLO a letter or drop them a call, see what they say.

malantone Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 If you get one It can be said to be hard luck, If you don`t learn after the first your daft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy835 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 iv had them and all was ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keg Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I've got 3 and my renewal and subsequent variation went well. The reason i ask is that a large number of points in a short time or one big fine and points may count against you but every case is unique.

remmy1100 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 you mention youve picked up some speeding fines how many exactly as i know of a lad who applied for a shotgun licence and was refused as he had three speeding fines in a year and they saw this as reckless and irresponsible ect had to wait a year and apply again and got it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I doubt very much it will have any effect on your license. People speed on a daily basis. Nephew and mate both had to do driver awareness course last year; the former for leaving his car via the windscreen and the latter instead of a ban due to accumulated points. Both have FAC/SGC and it hasn't made a jot of difference to that fact. Just declare them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Just put them on the form and say nothing. Asking about them in advance is only going to draw attention to the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keg Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Off topic a bit but I completed a speed awareness course last friday and was amazed how much i'd forgotten and also the amount of new stuff i'd learned. I did go in with an open mind although many were there just to complete the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
