Following on from another thread I'm intrigued to know how many points people have managed to collect over the years and what for (SB118 ;) )

I've had 6 in total

3 points and £32 SP30 50 in a 30 in 1990 Radar gun, stood behind a hedge.

3 points and £60 SP50 86 in a 70 in 2001 (M56 West bound) Moible camera.

Dodgy crim that I am.

Come on, spill the beans.

Fog

Oh yes, no flaming or witch hunts in my thread please, god bothering wishy washy doo gooders and liberals can clear orff!!! :D
 
March 2005 - 6 points for drink driving & £300 fine & 6 months ban
Feb 2006 - 3 points for doing 82mph on M1 southbound near Luton

Not too proud of the drink driving conviction but then again I was only slightly over the limit.

:D
 
None in 2.5 years, not quite as impressive as 23 :( :p

Amazed i've not been done for speeding really :p
 
Been driving just over a year on a prov... and erm.. still 0 :D


Come close once or twice to an SP30... I got stopped once too but I whole heartedly appologised to the officer and he let me off...
 
27 points over the years

sp30
sp50

not big and not clever, license is now clean and I hope it stays that way forever more.

So far none. Been driving for 6 months.

I always get paranoid a lot about getting points. Anyone get this too?

I've had a couple of dreams where I get points. They ave been genuinely distressing :( . Then I got points and realised it isn't actually that big a deal.

;) This may take a while ... :p

Not a clue what the year was on most of these as most of them were ages back.

In order of conviction.

3pts - Speeding
3pts - Bald tyre (my fault for not getting the tracking checked when i bought my mk2 scort!"
8pts - No insurance (young, stupid)

1st ban

3pts - Speeding
8pts - No insurance, not TOTALLY my fault this time, my dad was paying my insurance to repay a debt owed me (21 years of missed birthdays & xmas's) i changed my car and he didn't update the policy details i gave him, pulled by five-o, producer = 2nd IN10 :(

Good boy for a few years, all points expired.

16 pts 2xIN10, suffering from depression due to other court case(=distracted), didn't get the policy renewal info from my insurer, pulled on ANPR checks, twice in 5 days. Clean licence -> banned in one hearing. No fine though. Magistrate was quite understanding of the situation.

41pts in total, not 42, my mistake!

Surprisingly i've not had a speeding ticket since i started driving vans ;)
 
May 2004 - 4 points - CD10 'Driving without due care and attention'

I was prosecuted with absolutely no evidence bar the statements from myself and the scrotal fungus that crashed into me. Because I was a young driver, the judge obviously decided to make an example of me and give me the points ad a £200 fine.

I was well and truly shafted and there was nothing I could do about it. I wouldn't really mind but the fact that the CD10 adds on average £500 to my insurance I'm a bit annoyed as you can imagine.
 
0 in 10 years, more luck than anything though I think...

* Been stopped for 85 in a 50 and given a 20-min lecture
* 50 in a 40 in the ice (when I was an idiot 17-year old), let off because it was Christmas in a couple of days

Have done 170mph on a motorway and 160mph on an A-road before, and 120mph recently. All of these circumstances I considered to be safe though, but that's obviously no defence in a Court of Law.
 
3 pts. sp30, got them 2 weeks after passing my test for 54 in a 40.

But there off now. Although, the whole insurance companies want to know about them for 5 years is annoying.
 
Clean as a whistle. :)

Had an SP30 but it came off in Jan 2005 and I no long have to declare it to insurance companies either :D
 
Can't remember exactly how many and for what but over 20 in 14 years, the ones i can remember are.

3 X SP50, 2 x 3 points and 1 x 6
1 X MS90 1 x 3 points
1 x TS20 1 x 3 points
1 x offence for bald tyres,( friends van :o ) so 3 points

The last 9 are all over 3 years old :)

It can be a big deal if you get 6 points in the first two years. :(
 
3 points (SP30) within my first 9 months of driving for speeding in my crappy 1.1 106, stupid unmarked camera van got me.

2 years on though and I haven't been caught since, although nearly been caught a few times, closest was a few weeks ago when I got my XR3i, thought I'd see how fast it would go, got up to 125 indicated and flew past a police car who was coming off the slip road, I didn't slow down and carried on going til I got to the next exit and hid lol
