It means that whilst your payment for the fixed penalty was being processed it was detected from the photographic evidence that the vehicle was being driven otherwise than in accordance with the requirements of the provisional licence. An example of this is driving without ‘L’ plates. Therefore an offence has been committed and a prosecution for the offence of ‘Driving otherwise than in accordance with licence’ may ensue.
