Report a conviction
You are required to notify us within 7 days of receiving notice of any intended prosecution, caution, conviction or fixed penalty notice (criminal or motoring offences) under the '7-day rule'.
Failure to report an intended prosecution, caution, conviction or fixed penalty, in accordance with the 7-day rule, will be taken into consideration if it is necessary to review your licence.
If you fail to report any intended prosecution, caution, conviction or fixed penalty, in accordance with the 7-day rule, on two separate occasions within a 3-year period ending on the date of the last conviction/offence, the licence will automatically be referred to the Licensing and Environmental Protection Committee for review.
The Committee will then consider whether you're suitable to continue as a licensed driver within the borough.
Report a conviction
If you need to report an intended prosecution, caution, conviction or fixed penalty to us, you will need to complete our online form and upload the following documentation:
- Copies of any documentation which detail when you first became aware of the proposed action or;
- Copies of any documentation which detail the allegation(s) made against you, for example letters from the police.
Please note:
We reserve the right to review any licence if it can be established that the failure to report any intended prosecution, caution, conviction or fixed penalty has deprived us the opportunity to consider the matter previously.
For example, where it has been established that a driver would have had 9 live points on their DVLA licence if the facts had been reported to the us at the appropriate time and such status would at that time have led to an automatic review of the licence in accordance with our convictions policy.
