zero, thank you very much.

How you driving with 12 points, isn't that a ban?

im impressed! :P

i claimed exeptional hardship in the courts, sold my golf tdi due to thinking i was going to lose my licence, but ended up keeping it!

as it happened i ended up having to pay my insurers almost 2k for a 1.3 4spd mk2 golf frown

With 12 points on your licence are you surprised? I would have expected it to be higher than that.

just curious but for those with 9 points, is it better to 'get 3 extra' and get a minimum ban esp if you don't need the car as a daily driver (e.g. a 6month ban over winter) and then start summer with nil point! Assuming you have no points that are coming off anytime soon

i wasnt suprised! relieved if anything! i dont know what i would have done without a car regarding work etc.

i was suprised it was so cheap, bearing in mind i got them in feb of this year, and now im paying just over 800 on my 306?

Haven't had any points for over 20 years now, guess it's because I'm a perfect driver who never breaks a speed limit & always drives in accordance with the highway code.



Or perhaps I'm just fekkin lucky (with a bit of good observation to help)

When I was in my 20s I got to 14 points, all speed related, & just managed to keep my licence because of my job (courier) & the hardship it would cause my family (wife & child), that was the last time I got caught, touches wood.

I've never had any points, not even been pulled over by the police (probably happen on my way home from work tonight).

I do drive fast when I'm in the mood so I think a combination of awareness & luck has seen me this far.
