Depends what you get caught for next and whether the magistrate got some the night before!

You get caught again and you'll be in the dock, could be 30days, could be 12 mths

My advice would be to not get any more points

Ha ha yeah imagine that, 'I award you a years ban' - 'what's up judge, didn't get any last night??'

Cheers for the advice, can't believe Im getting done for 40mph in a 30mph, I honestly thought I was driving like Miss Daisy for a change

i always thought you get a automatic 6 month ban UNLESS you have a very good reason to keep your licence

if its another speeding camera fine then what they usually do is send you on a speed awareness course that YOU pay for and give you a higher fine and no points, how rigged is that

speak to shings as i think he was the constantly unlucky one and he had that i belive ( or another polite NMS member)

when i had 11 points i got caught speeding again. i got a letter from work saying that i needed my car to get to and from work,work unsociable hours.

they gave me about Ł180 fine and stuck another 3 points on my licence
so i was driving around on 14 points.

always had to argue when insuring my car as the insurance companys would not accept that i had all them points, kept saying you should be banned.

year later got caught again 6 month ban, never again my ass has still not recovered from cycling to work

I drove round for over 2 years with 11 points

As far as im aware its upto the courts if you get banned or not, one of my mates had 15 points, he hadnt been banned at 12 because the magistrate didnt decide to.
