They were more than happy to correctly alter the details when I called to let them know there had been a cock up and happy days, no issue to have that fixed.

Bet you there’s plenty of old buggers who have had to alter and change details due to eyesight or other factors, and I’m sure there will be plenty more.

Certainly doesn’t meet the criteria of “knowingly” being a few didgits or characters out with a valid reason.

They aren’t going to come and scoop you up in a black Nissan patrol and take your licence for making a mistake., doing it with intent, as they specify, is another story.

More likely a white Landcruiser with black tinted windows
