License Revoked + £800 fine, was unaware to my job
By: arronford Date: November 3, 2025, 5:15 am

Hello,
I really need help/advice for the following:
In June 2024 I received a notice informing me I was going to
receive 6 points (speeding), the first camera flashed me and not
even 50m after I got flashed again.
Due to the nature of my job I am out of country for 6-8 months a
year and had no idea, until recently when I found out my license
has now been revoked and have received no notification that it
was proceeding to court.
At the time it was under 2 years and therefore was treated under
the New Drivers Act however again, due to my job was unaware
this was even happening.
I’ve payed the fines today, however i’m wondering if there’s
absolutely anything I can do to reverse this as court has
already been sat and i’m currently abroad and NEED to drive.

You need to start by giving much more detail...
What notices exactly did you receive, and when ? What responses
to these notices did you make, how and when ?
What was the speed alleged and the limit ?
Location ( cameras are not 50m apart) ?
The court didn't revoke your licence - DVLA did that
automatically when you were awarded 6 points. You have to either
get penalty that reduced or set aside.
As it stands you have no valid licence - there is no simple fix
to that. You may have an option to appeal to a higher court
against the sentence ( if it doesn't fall within the sentencing
guidelines - very unlikely), or to ask the magistrates court to
rehear the case, but without much more info you aren't going to
get good advice.
Realistically, being outside the UK isn't going to help.

As above, what you have told us is insufficient to give proper
advice. So I'll take a few guesses.
First of all it is my guess that the notice you received in June
2024 “…informing me I was going to receive 6 points (speeding)”
was nothing of the sort. It is my guess that it was a “Notice of
Intended Prosecution” together with a “request for driver’s
details”. I’ll then guess that you failed to respond to that
request and it is that failure, rather than speeding (whether
one or two offences) which saw the six points imposed on your
record and which led to your licence revocation.
You can easily check this by looking at your driving record
online to see what offence(s) you have been convicted of. If I m
correct you will see an endorsement code of MS90.
Since points can only be imposed by court (unless you agree to
the police doing so, which you obviously didn’t) the matter must
have been heard in court and you would have been sent papers
informing you of that, and of the outcome.
As you were unaware of those proceedings you can perform a
“Statutory Declaration” to have the conviction nullified and the
points removed from your record. Whether it would be worth your
while doing so is arguable. If you do that the charge will be
raised again and I believe, from your very brief description
coupled with my guesses, that you have no realistic chance of
successfully defending that charge. In that case your time and
money would be better spent making arrangements to take your
test again.
Of course if I am wrong, please tell us what actually happened
and we can go from there.

Just to be completely sure were these two within the same
journey? Detected speeding twice only 50m apart but still
treated as two offences. Presumably "m" is metres, not miles.

Until such time as the OP returns with some meaningful
information, helpful speculation will be considered "noise"

To add to your woes if you drive abroad, your licence being
revoked in the UK also revokes your right to drive abroad.
