So big thanks to Rob and way cheaper than mr loophole thanks again Rob job well done

I'll see him at R18 tonight so i'll tell he now has his very own thread....awwwww

(couldnt help me though the useless bugger! )

[rob.kellock]

Thanks Ian, glad to have been of assistance. It was a pleasure to see you both this morning.

Zeb, £60 and 3 points for attempting to break the speed of sound on the M55 in a Range Rover, filmed in HD by 2 officers in their Volvo estate car with blue flashing lights on the roof is not a penalty I would advise anyone to challenge, let alone a Yorkshireman who doesn't like throwing good money after bad!!

Perhaps she needs a slower car?

So what exactly is the point of having a 12 point totup rule FFS????

If you got 12 points - you should be banned - end of!

Just MHO

My understanding is that you pay the fine and still keep 12 points on your license for the 3 years so do it again and its gone!

So essentially that makes it a 15 point rule..that doesn't sound right to me...isn't it something to do with extenuating circumstances!?

I think so, but what I was trying to point out is that I don't think you get rid of the points, you just escape the ban.

How much does your yearly insurance rise by with 12 points?

emmm....... I don't know the details but, generally, my hackles rise when I hear stuff like this. Pay enough money to a clever enough lawyer, pull on the Magistrates heart strings and one rule for one and another for everyone else. As I say I don't know the details (and frankly don't want to) but I'm not sure I would be advertising this 'achievement' quite so enthusiastically.

extenuating circumstances????

The same rules apply to everybody. The important bit is simply to apply them correctly to the facts.

Rob, 3 points, no accidents, 3 Porsches, over 23 years!

[Ian58]

Yes you still keep the point . Its things like her father is in a wheel chair and relies on her to get around also the affect on her business and staff if she wasn't mobile
My self I have a clean licence and have owend many fast cars and still do but most of my driving is in camera free zone

I'd wager by a massively out of proportion amount compared with any imaginary increase in the likelihood of having an accident.

Pigs in the trough mate. Sympathies.

Rob, 3 points,

Should have found yourself a good lawyer

[rob.kellock]

Yes, the irony is not lost on me!

In the circumstances, it was quite a good result all things considered...

So without trying to start a row just interested, what do you do with your car exactly, do you have fun in it or do you just drive it like any normal non performance car?
