Poll: How many points do you have on your licence?

[Feek]

Inspired by people saying how many points they have in that other thread about being banned, I thought it might be interesting to know what points people currently have.

I never reached more than six on my licence but I think that the first three might actually have expired before I got the second three.

I've been points clear since this.

I was done once before this but they came off when I moved. I had three points for doing 103MPH up the M6 in the mid 80s. In a 1.4 Astra. Yes, it was flat out. I was much younger.

How will anyone have 1?

Perhaps they got two knocked off for good behaviour. I just listed all numbers because someone's bound to get clever with the combinations. If you don't have 1, just don't vote for 1.

You know points don't stay on your license forever right? How many you "have" and how many you have "had" are two different things, making your question seem a bit pointless(no pun intended)

I've asked how many points do people have, not how many they had

Was there a speed difference between the two? Just interesting why the one in 1988 was nearly twice the fine of the 1992 one. You'd have thought it'd be the other way around if they'd increased the fine.

The first one was on the A12, southbound around Colchester. I'd pulled off and onto the A120 heading towards Braintree before I got pulled and I have no recollection of what my speed was. The second one was driving along Oxford Road in Clacton-on-Sea at about half past midnight. I was heading back to the office after having been out at an exhibition and suddenly there was a single headlight in my mirror. He pulled in behind me at the unit and told me I'd done 34mph past him and showed me the gun. Knowing I was going to be done, I suggested I was transmitting on the radio which may have affected the reading. He first questioned if I was using a hand microphone and then said that the speed guns are calibrated. He also said that if I wanted to hold the gun, he'd transmit on my radio to demonstrate that it didn't affect it. I said that's not allowed because he doesn't have a licence and he told me it didn't matter because "I'm above the law".

Yes, I did put a complaint in afterwards and received an apology for that comment. And I took my three points.

I knew as soon as I saw him that I was getting done, that particular plod had a reputation at the time, he'd nick anyone and everyone for even the tiniest infraction.

/edit - The first thing he said when we stopped was "didn't you see me back there by the carpet shop?" When I said no, he said "what if I'd been a small child about to run into the road?" to which my reply was "At midnight?".
