Some say people with 9 points are the most careful drivers on the road

(or they should be from now on )

Just pisses me off, 99% of the time, I will drive quite normally, on the speed limit, usually very cautious, dont drive stupidly, infact drive like some tree hugging hippy.



Goes to show really they are gonna get ya no matter how careful you are

I drive like a twat and have no points if it makes you feel any better?

Only the other day I was undertaking on my private stretch of motorway at nearly double the speed limit

Seeing as they don't have traffic police any more (they have all retrained as scamera van operators as the hours and job safety are better) I can do what the hell I want so long as I remember where the scameras are

Some insurance companies actually see a driver with 9 points as less of a risk as they will be more careful!!

Plus, on a rare occassion and if not an overly serious case some coppers will let you go on a warning if they know you have 9 points, that comes down to your attitude and how much of a nagging cow the coppers wife is
