Following on from my "I got stopped thread" in SP&L, I'm wondering how many of us have points?

Spent 2 years, 10 months on 11 points. These dropped off a good 5 years ago & I have been a very good boy since as I was sick of driving round with my sphincter twitching all the time

6 points and a DR10 which, thankfully will be 5 years old this coming January.....don't drink and drive kids, it will royally fk up your insurance and thus your car options for 5 long years!

Those damn welshies got me too, 3 points.

75 on a motorway! Mind you the speed was temporarily lowered to 50 due to road works.

I have 1 point at the moment.. last speeding ticket was for 91 in a 55mph zone.. oops.

Just found out I was banned yesterday. Turns out some scum-sucking cocksucker cloned my driver's license # and got himself stopped for 78 in a 65 and no proof of insurance. Fake address, I never got the noticed. Lovely, apparently I have 2 bench warrants for my arrest and my license is suspended for failure to appear.

None now, but had a few over the years.
Come bloody close every time I go out though. It's only being as sneaky as the bds hiding in bushes, that has saved me.

Perhaps another poll could be "How many of you have been nicked for speeding"
I'd guess it is the greater percentage of us, thus making it bad law IMHO.

Have a weekend retreat in North Wales hence I currently have 6 points but have rallied a total of 40 points and a (probably much needed) driver awareness course in my 18 years of driving!

None at the moment so have 4 lives left!

The two speeding convictions in my driving career were both from Trafpol a few years ago, and exposed flaws in my use of the Mk1 eyeball.

Sounds like a real nightmare. How are the police sorting it out for you? Sorry to hear it mate.
