12 points - now what?

[eric44]

It looks like I've just got another camera ticket which will take me up to 12 points. This last ticket follows two others in the past month(!). I do have points rolling off in July and in November this year, but even then I would be up at 12 with the latest one. What is maddening is that each one has been marginal (36 in 30mph at 6.10 in the morning, 51 in 40 mph at 10 past midnight and 38 in a 30 at 6.45 am. The roads were always clear.....

I have three questions I'd like some help with.

1. What is the best way of delaying things until July and even November, without making things worse for myself.

2. Is there an argument to try to be hit with them all as quickly as possible but have the last one go to court to allow me to ask for as short a ban as possible, given the relatively low speeds I was going and the times I was caught?

3. I will, reasonably, argue the need for me to keep my licence - work, disabled mother, children etc. If I do manage to get only a short ban, would the points still be cleaned off?

I'm sure you'd get more response on the speeding & plod station..

I'd delay as much as possible, then go for court and delay that as much as legally possible.

There was recent thread about the duration of points on licence. i believe in court it starts from date of conviction, so if you can delay til July...

Without sounding smug or to rub it in, it sounds like you need a Road Angel. If it was not for mine, I would be in the same boat as you. To echo the other posts delay as much as is legally possible and plead your mitigating circumstances

OK What am I missing

two speeding last month 6 points
one to come off in July 3 points
one to come off in November 3 points

That makes a total 12 points

You should have already been banned.
