5 for undue care

4 for speeding

Undue care was for nearly completing a j turn in an empty car park, they wanted dangerous drivin but dropped it to undue care!!

Speeding was when i got caught doin 47-53 in a 30! :o , Just thought i'd have quick go on my m8s aprilia!!! Big mistake!!!

Speeding got me banned last year and had 2 retake test. i've been back on the road just over a year now and have learnt my ways since!!!!! :wink:

[linzTDI]

how many are you allowed?

[wisewood]

12

[Dave]

think it's 9 in your first 2 years don't quote me on that though

[?Marty?]

You're allowed 6 points in first 2 years. Then you re-take your test, but points stay on. Of course.

At the moment, you may be offered a driver awareness course (about ?90) insetad of fine and points if caught first time.

It's 12 points before you're automatically banned. A minimum of six months i think.




I have 9 points. For 'enthusiastic' driving.

Shiiiiiit, the speed limits were set years ago. For morris minors and stuff. With drum brakes all round. So i drive faster! Big deal. It's still well withing mine and the car's capabilities.

Speed kills? Nope. It's crashin into people that does that.

Speed limits are to do with safety, road conditions, location and stopping distances. But the stopping distances according to the highway code are all wrong, and have even been proved to be.

[wisewood]

yupp, stopping distances have remained teh same for YEARS and YEARS.



philG's nova stopped from 70 in about 30 feet, if that... and thats just normal braking system without abs or anything, and not the best brake setup in the world (no offence phil, you know what i mean). Highway code would set that distance to at least twice that - dont know the figures though :lol:

[Nova-Flair]

0 points or producers since january :D

*touch wood!* (the non wise type)

stopping distances are bollocks though! u can tell marty has been reading max power :wink:

[locky]

None in 3 yrs!

lol..

took my friend over that same stopping test after his dad MOT'd the car and he said brake efficiency was low - later figured out my mnifold had been catching on the hump in the middle of their brake rollers and *just* effecting the reading..

suffice to say he didnt think they were inefficient after..


MWAHAHHA :twisted:

Phil

[wisewood]

lmfao - get chris to take me out in the calibra next time, i hear the reputation of her brakes is quite impressive too :lol:

[onephatnova]

i got 3 pts in over 6 years (got caught by an udercover dibble doing 47 in a 30 zone)

,... but "wot do points mean!!?"

[jatinder]

well its not points win prizes thats for sure the high number of points you have the closer your getting to get banned

[onephatnova]

i know that...!!

but i always say that as a joke - "points mean prizes" :lol: (i love funny catchphraises) :D

i'm sorry,... :oops: i shouldnt laugh at my own jokes, but sometimes you have to, when noone else does... :oops:

[jatinder]

dont worry sumday someone will find you funny :lol:

[Chris LR]

0, I'd find it hard to speed in the Saxo, and impossible in the LR

[ade]

I have nil poi points!

Only been pulled once for overtaking a traffic cop in a 30 zone - he was doing 25 and I couldnt pull in behind him coz there was no spaces and I had to get in to his lane. Everyone just bunched up like sheep behind him!

:x

Explained it - he said fine! :D

Just out of curiosity whats a "producer" and do points stay on for 4 or 5 years?

[onephatnova]

Just out of curiosity whats a "producer"

a producer is where you have to produce/show your current documents - usually just your MOT / Insurance Certificate / Driving Licence - into your local Dibble Shop (aka police station)...
