License Endorsement - Turnaround Time?
Posted: Jul 25th, '06, 22:38

I have to send my driving license off for my first three pentalty points after going a bit too fast in the wife's car a few weeks back* but, typically, I am going to need to have it handy for my upcoming bike tests (CBT a week on Saturday and Direct Access a few weeks after that). Does anyone have any idea how quickly the court in Swindon is likely to add the endorsement and return the paperwork to me?

Just give your training school a ring and explain the situation, if it doesn't come back in time for your CBT I'm sure they will book you in on a different day....

Your Training school have a direct tel no to DSA and if your liecence isnt back they can ring to confirm any details they need.

I believe that way of doing things expired 1st July this year; it did with LGV & car tests.
Normal turnaround for endorsements (i've been unfairly convicted 12 times todate...

) is around 7 - 10 days..

Cheers Andy. I'll send it off between my theory test and the Direct Access course then.
As for 12 convictions ... that gives me a target to aspire to!
