What to check in your case
The written appeal must set out your grounds and formal conclusions. Specify the findings you dispute, the supporting evidence and the change you seek. An appeal against a road traffic decision imposing a fine or an additional penalty suspends that decision’s enforcement. Asking to inspect the file at this stage does not stop the appeal deadline. For licence revocation, check the specific procedure in the notice.
