This would not affect your eligibility for a Driver Awareness / Driver Diversion Course, however should you decide to accept the £60 fine and 3 penalty points, you will be required to send your payment and your paper driving licence (plus photocard where issued) to the Fixed Penalty Office (FPO), within 28 days. Where applicable, complete the section on your licence for change of name/address and signature. The FPO will then forward your licence to DVLA to be updated. If the section is not completed the licence will be returned to you and you will have to contact the DVLA to obtain a replacement driving licence.
