Does submitting representations against an alcohol-related fine itself cause licence points to be deducted?

Correct answer

No, points relate to the offence and final penalty, not the challenge itself.

No. Representations may be submitted through the prescribed channels and deadlines. Points are deducted for an offence legally carrying them once the penalty is final administratively, not merely because the person disagrees or challenges it. Driving above an applicable alcohol limit can involve a fine and points or criminal consequences, depending on the case. Submitting representations does not guarantee cancellation or remove consequences if the penalty is ultimately upheld.
