No there was no covering letter. On past occasions my licence was returned with the SP30 written on it. Guess i'll find out when I change my address & get a new licence

I got caught for speeding & received an SP30. I sent off my 'old-style' pink paper driving license and details for payment (plus a covering letter explaining I’d been in hospital and moved house and that was the reason for my delay in returning my details). Today I received my driving license and my letter back. The £60 has been taken from my account but my license hasn’t been updated with the 3 points. Will these come at a later date? (or have I been lucky?)
