Points on your licence

After posting on another thread, I started wondering how many people have, or have had, points on their licence. I have made it an anonymous vote, so don't worry about that!

tbh it should be 9 points and your licence is gone wheter you 17 or 70. iv had 0 and will keep it that way

SP50 for doing 80 on a quiet M6, ironically in the 82bhp Fiat, four days after writing off the 254bhp BMW Good job they didn't catch me topping the BMW out on the *ahem private motorway* a week prior then

None in 2 and a half years, gone past a speed camera at 10mph over the limit by mistake but it was facing the other side of the road, and ran a red light but the next set were the camera ones.

i have an sp30 for speeding in a 750 panda

Zero - but, only had my car since September last year lol (and had only driven Dads car a few times in the year prior to that lol).

Obviously, I'd like it to stay that way...so far, I'm doing fairly well at sticking to speed limits (some back roads in town I may travel a wee bit too fast down...and maybe nearly ploughed into a police car at 40 [she wasn't paying attention, lucky for me I was more or less in the middle of the road lol])

SP30 in March 08 for 36 in a 30 near work by a mobile speed trap.

The gutting thing is that I'd just driven past it the other way not 5 minutes previous and spotted they were working from a council van.....

Coming the other way I just thought it was a council van till someone jumped out and stopped me.

3 points + £60 for using phone and another 3 + £60 for running red light with camera (not purposely!) in Brighton = 6 points, should come off around Jan 2011 though

Got caught doing 110.8mph on athe new section of the A1 in my old bravo 1.8 hlx when I was 20. Had been driving 3 weeks over two years when convicted.

Got banned for two weeks and issued with an SP50 and a £210 fine - no points. I had to go to court. Would have faced anything upto a 3 month ban at the time (the going rate iirc) but a freind (who was at the time a policeman) advised me to state that I would lose my job if I lost my licence. My employer went along with this and the magistrate asked me how much annual leave I had, I had 2 weeks left...

licence clean now.

None in 35 years driving for work & for pleasure, including 2 or 3 quite quick motorbikes!

So far...

Got SP50 and 3 points for doing 65 in a contraflow on the M1 at 12.00am.... in the Punto 1.2 8v, lesson learnt. They are spent in July this year anyway

None yet but I've only been driving 5 months. Should keep it that way too

SP30 Twice for 39mph. The first was spent a long time aho and the other was 2008 i think. It was a camera that i always used to speed through at like 50+ when it faced the other way. The one time i go slower it gets me. .

None and I intend to keep it that way

I just noticed - I never said what I have got! 3 points - SP50 on the M4 for doing 61mph in a 70 limit. They reckoned the limit was 50 and as I don't carry a video camera in the car, I was screwed. Got them in October 2005 and the points can be removed from my licence in a few months Think they are technically spent though, although the insurance companies would argue differently.

It's interesting that people state they intend to keep a clean licence - I personally think that to do this, it's more of a case of luck rather than judgement. I heard that more people have points than not these days.
