    Hi all, I got a fixed fine notice in the post for speeding, doing 69 on a 60 zone, so I went to pay the fine at the fixed fine office in Dublin. The fella there took my licence's copy and took payment and waved good bye ..... Since then I never got anything in the post related to this. My question is: Does anyone know if this is over ??? or Do I still get the points ???
    Pls let me know how does it go, thanks.

    They will prob come, being noted in a letter over the next few months.

    If they don't, keep your mouth shut. ;)

    Penalty points are invisible, i.e. they don’t appear on your license. They also don’t hatch out until at least 6 weeks after the offence was committed. :)

    Maybe he was the Wallet Inspector?

    not trying to hijack the thread.... but...

    Nearly a month ago (3.5 weeks to be precise) i was caught speeding... i was wrong blah blah..

    The garda that stopped me told me i had 28 days to pay the fine, or else court. He never gave me a receipt or any paperwork to do with the offence.
    I have since received no letter in the post instructing me to pay the fine, telling me about my points etc.
    So do i have 28 days from the offence (meaning deadline next week) or 28 days from receipt of the letter to pay up?

    Also, when i was caught i was on a provisional licence, but i have since passed my test and have a full licence. Could this mean my paperwork for the speeding got lost in the system and the points/fine now do not apply?

    Any help is greatly appreciated, and i'll probably ring the gards to see what they say anyway if no letter arrives.

    Thanks.

    You've 28 days from the date on the fine, ie the one you will receive. Just wait till you receive it, and don't go to the Garda.
