How do you get 12 without getting a ban?

And, er, why don't people just drive to the limit? I can understand it on motorways - even the police admit they're not interested in anything below 80mph and a spill there is likely to impact on the driver, rather than on pedestrians, obv. But in towns? I'm not preaching, just can't see what the point is.

if you drive for a living, live rurally you can claim hardship if you dont have a licence and they give you a massive fine instead

You have to go to court and explain why, if they take your licence away, you will suffer from 'extreme hardship'

Not pleasant and it's not something I'm particularly proud of. It certainly makes you more aware of the speed limits!

6 of my points were Albion-related :lolol:

someone at the office was caught at over a ton (not sure exactly how much) and got £800 fine instead of a ban

No points in 13 years of driving, no parking tickets either. Was stopped by the police once for a bit of naughty speeding but was let off with a warning :)

I've got a fixed penalty thats meant to have 2 points....

however, Pulse isn't secure and a few friends work in the force ;)

Had to pay €80 though. Would have got off in court (129kph in a 120 zone is within the "acceptable limits") in the first place though.

None. Got stopped once for doing 40 along the seafront but was lucky enough to get let off with a warning. I now drive so slow it's like I'm driving Miss Daisy.

It's been clean since the day I gained it, 22+ years ago.

It's been in the washing machine twice! So, totally clean. :lolol:

Wait, its three points in the UK for speeding?

2 here, or 4 for going something like 30+ more than the limit - e.g. 2 for 130 on a motorway, 4 for 160.

And double that if you go to court and fail. I know of someone who got the max 8 for one offence :eek:
