Default time for some more frikin points

just had a shitty fukin week (lost my wallet with all the important stuff) then got 3 speeding points come through

i already got 9 points, 3 in 2005 and 6 in 2004 - will these count? i know that points stay for 3 years and stay on liscene for 4

What about insurance companies? will it mean i have 12 points to them?

after the 3 other times you been caught,,,,,,,, have you not thought about slowing down as its OBVIOUS your shite at paying attention when you speed

i live in central london,, cameras EVERYWHERE and ive yet to get 3 points for speeding,,,,,,, which means your are either one REALLY unlucky fucker,,,,,, you speed ALL the fucking time OR,,,,,,, and i recon this is MORE likely,,,,,,,, you dont pay attention when driving,,,,,,, meaning the speeding aint the worry but your actual driving

now im not one to bother about speeding ect as i drive like a cunt most days,,,,,, but to be cuaght that many times IS a worry

mate tbh with the time and the points already it aint gonna make much insurance difference

the possible 6 month ban is what i would worry about

oh and your driving

its just speeding, generally not that major with most companys

i used to have 9 points at one point and my insurance wasnt as bad as i thought after the first 2 years

you got 6 in 2004? well they only stay active on your licence for 3 years so 2007 they were no longer active.

they stay on your licence for 4 years, insurance companys usually want to know the last 5 years

cant see how you will get a ban TBH

invest in a road angel and possibly a pass plus

Driving in London - my idea of personal hell.

If the buses were divided into little compartments of 2 or 4 seats (like a car) and had kiddie steering wheels and a stereo, I think take-up of public transport would improve.

12 valid points doesn't always mean a ban, same as 100mph doesn't.

Sounds like the 6 may be spent, so fingers crossed mate

A mate drives lorries for a living, and is on 9 points for quite a while yet.
There's me with an M3 and on job and knock driving lorries, zero points

It's recognising where you can and can't speed these days IMO.
