Heartbroken

[DUNOVA.]

Going round town tonight and police were everywhere so I was being extra careful.Anyway I stop at a set of lights what were red the police stop behind me and for some reason I just started driving while the lights were red,three points and a 60 pound fine.Plus a 50 pound bet I have with my sister for being the first one to get points on my licence.Turned out to be a pretty expensive nite.

a typical time where police are causing a danger. Same as how everyone suddenly breaks when they see a police car or speed camera, regardless if they are speeding or not.
Gutted for you

[Ben]

That was harsh :!:

edit:

Thats not including the 10% your insurance will go up, also if you get another 3 points you will be banned as i believe your still in your first two years.

gutted

It's always the way, drive carefully and they'll get you for something.

Fly around the roads up here on a motorbike that a scrappy would refuse to take, and the old bill will never catch you.

[DUNOVA.]

Cheers guys.Is it the first year if you get 6 points on your licence you lose it or is it 2 years?

[Lee H]

It's always the way, drive carefully and they'll get you for something.

And you would consider driving through a red light
for some reason as driving carefully!?

Serves you right.


'Oooooh, i for some reason drove into a child and killed him'.

And if you have to stamp on the brakes just from seeing a police car (whether you're speeding or not) all that can mean is that you're either:

a) actually speeding; or
b)not aware of what speed you actually are travelling at.

Either way, it makes you a crap driver.

Seeing a police car deosn't make me drive in any way diferent to seeing any orther car and etc. Unless it has sirens/lights going and etc, in which case you act accordingly.

[Ben]

I get paranoid just walking down the road and see a policeman, if one drives up my street i jump the fence and hide in the woods- Paranoia :!:

[DUNOVA.]

And you would consider driving through a red light for some reason as driving carefull,

We all make mistakes!





Either way, it makes you a crap driver.

Check out Britains best driver>So I don't suppose you make any mistakes in your first year of driving

at the end of the day, i find the police presence daunting. This is due to them wanting to meet their quotas, i wud expect that had the police not been there you wouldn't of done what you did, but becasue they were there thats all u cud think about :( , thats the way they work i'm afraid, they will find something to do you for if they want to at the end of the day. :roll:

[Gazza14SR]

ya wanna watch it now mate cuz another 3 and ya liscence is revoked and talking from experience ya dont wanna do that at all, just think of: money for lessons, theory test again, paying for the test itself, insurance increasment and the time it takes to pass again. i even know acouple of people who have lost their jobs because they cant drive to work etc. Its alot of money for a silly moment of madness.

Anyway, chin up, not the end of the world :wink:

I once heard that the police use a snooker ball scoring system for cars they pull over
Red car = 1 point
Yellow car = 2 points
Green car = 3 points
etc etc etc.
Didn't think too much of it but thinking back,
My first car: Red mini
Pulled quite a lot, thought it was cos I was young
My second car: Red Nova SR
Pulled loads, again thought it was cos I was young and it was modded
My third car:
Purple 1967 VW Beetle, Pulled once I think when some pissed woman walked in to the side of my car and the police had ME in court for it for reckless driving - thrown out by the court (Damn right aswell!!)
My fourth car:
BLACK Nova SR, Pulled loads and loads (Black = 7 points)
My current car:
Silver Nova GSi, Pulled once for my 'motorbike letters on car plates' number plates, changed 'em for a fortnight, put 'em back on not been pulled since (Over 2 years of having the car).

So, how many points is a silver snooker ball worth? Exactly!!!
:wink:

[Beano]

If ur determined to get points on ur license (for some reason :lol: ), get them before you actually hav ur license.

u learn not to do retarded things, and they cant take wot u aint got...worked 4 me and a mate, downside is i have 6 points when i insure my 1st car! :oops: nightmare!

[DUNOVA.]

My cars silver only been pulled about three times since last december so it ain't pretty bad compared to a most of me mates that have been pulled loads.

[blingmachine]

in the year and a half that i've been driving i have never been pulled. :D Considering my cars fully modded and i have ilegal plates and window tints (limo Black) i think thats quite impressive. espeshly as im only 18 and drive a BMW (whilst the novas away)
