The one 8,474 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I was asking about last night points stay on your licence for 4 years but your insurance records them for 5 years 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jacknife 2,005 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I find it unfair that drivers can get multiple points and loose their licence for tripping multiple speed cameras on the same stretch of road If you got tailed by a copper on the motorway for several miles and you were speeding they wouldn't do you multiple times Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Know people who have done this and got away with just one fine and one set of points Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forest of dean redneck 11,589 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Gmashers right on the modern cars, this berlingo xtr im driving which is what I was caught in ,is putting out around 115 bhp roughly same as the mk2 golf gti and lancia thema I had in my early 20s in the 90s . It is hard to keep to speed limit as you don't know your going fast it's that quiet. I'm taking over the wife's old Toyota lucida automatic that will slow me down.

Waz 4,253 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 This is the main reason I stick to heavier older diesels, im not that clued up on economy and all that, but find myself driving faster in salloons, so either an old 4x4 or a van is always top of my list, + you can see over the hedges. Ive had the odd speeding ticket but touch wood never done twice in the period before i get the points back again. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiercel 6,986 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I learned a lesson about speed before I passed my test, I had an old JU250 as a work van, I had just dropped a mate off and was driving back up the street was doing about 15mph if that when I spotted 2 kids about four and six standing on the left hand side of the road holding hands and looking left and right, as I approached them I slowed down further, when I was about 6ft from them they both just walked in to the road in font of me. I jumped on the brakes and stopped before I hit them. But I was shaking so much I could not drive on, the guy who was sitting with me had to take over. It still gives me the shivers today if I had been even doing 20 I would have hit them. TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
