How many points will I get?

[Jon8710]

If it was send in good time, regardless of when it arrived (what was the postmark on the envelope, keep it you may need it) then it may well be valid.

If so then the points depend of if the judge likes purple? :smt055

I was given 5 point + £300 fine for careless driving after some clown pulled in front of me as I was overtaking him with a massive, massive speed difference and the impact causing his car to exit stage left though a fence in to a forest where it had to be craned out so 6 point for 90 in a 70 seems harsh!

tell me about it i could not belive it, oh well only a year left then they are done.
how long do they last for now any ???

3 years but stay on the license I think for 4-5

I was clear at Xmas (first time for 8 years) then pulled over physically by a Jag on the way back from Simpsons in Feb

You won't be getting the tea and coffee morning to many miles over the limit :bigcry:

I have just had the pleasure of opening my first speeding ticket ever:clown:



date 30th august:whistle:


76mph in a 50 on a motorway bend??? I always used to see the 50 signs on bends as a challenge!



so what will they do to me?:119:

I reckon you'll get 3 points for that Jim, I was caught a couple of years ago, on the M6, 97 in a 70, I got 3 and a £90 fine.

You can get them removed from your license after 3, but 90% of the Insurance Companies want to know if you got points for the last 5 years, bastids.

DOH that wasn't clever Mr Shimmy, are you a habitual speeder

I wonder who owns the bragging rights of being caught at the fastest speed on here...I reckon it's me :smokin:

I got caught doing 120k in a 60k zone and when pulled by the cop he said ' are those r888's? sweet!':thumbs:

Don't think that is right. I think they count for 3 years BUT you can't get them removed for 4 or 5 years from your license.

Actually you're right, I think they changed it a few years back, just checked, they count for 3, but you can have them removed after 4, unless you've done a more serious misdemeanour then they can stay on for 11 :119:

I never get them removed, I like seeing my chequered driving history on my bit of paper!

I stand corrected :beer:

haha brilliant, i've still got my original paper license with all my history on it

I think I've been caught speeding 10 times in my driving career...

Mainly 3 points a go, but I did get banned when I was 19 for excessive speed on my CBR600...doh.

I remember passing my test and then going out in my dads Mercedes and getting nicked for speeding 72 hours after passing my test...whooopsie!

I have been let off at 120 in France - I don't think they could believe that the focus could go that fast :-D

You were lucky Jim :smokin:

Was out in my mates RS MKII with the 440bhp upgrade to it last week...god that thing is fast, I probably would have kept mine if it had that much power, he gave me a whooping once we were rolling :119:

My best was (which I have no intention of beating or getting caught at that speed again) was 136.1mph on my old CBR600, on a 60mph country lane in Petworth, Sussex, resulted in a 3 month ban, £500 fine, £650 court costs...silly boy...was a long time ago now mind

[shimmy]

Why is it still illegal there? :gayfight:

[bryce]

I know a man that got caught doing 160mph on his bike. When police asked what he was doing that kinda speed for he replied " I was slowing down for the roundabout "
