If so, you are so, so, so screwed.

These are my first points.

You have to be driving 2 and a half years iirc. ?

6 points > ban > unlucky mofo

Barry123

2nd March 2009, 15:18

then you're screwed if you get another 3 points within the proceeding year.

the points will indeed stay and remain 3point penalties for the 3 years but your probation will cease after another year and which point your points limit will be raised from 6 to 12

if you get 6 points within the first 2 years of passing your test, you get a ban, and you have to re-take your tests.
so basically you have 3 points to spare for the next year
otherwise
BABA DRIVING LICENSE

As i understand it if youve been driving less then 2 years and you get 6 or more points within that 2 years your banned, then after 2 years your alloud 12 points?

And then you get 3 points taken off every 3 years youve been driving with a clean sheet?

This correct?

Erm... you get a motoring conviction so that would have to be declared on insurance and then you get the grand insurance bumming we all love.

Pretty much... In a perfect world it could be done that quick. Thruth of the matter is most of us wouldn't pass a driving test again tommorow, too many bad habits e.g. not push pull steering.

I saw some fucker push pull sterring in an RS4 taking 2 years to do a 3 point turn.

Steve1255

2nd March 2009, 15:50

I think i stopped push pulling the same day i pashed hehe......just makes life difficult...

Exactly dude... exactly...

Subtle habits like that is why most of us wouldn't pass our tests again. I think i'd fail on manaveurs. My way is better! the test is flawed, i bet them instructors can't parrelel parks in 8 seconds!

When you are so egar to get back onto the road then all your bad habbits go out the window and you drive like you did whne learning the first time. Thats what happened with me...past within two weeks :y:

Fair does fella. I no a lad that had to completely learn how to drive again. He took another 6 lessons, as for me...

No points, 1 None fault claim on file... insurance is a dream and police have even stopped pulling me over now... (Filed harrassment case as was pulled over 12 times in 3 months by 2 officers that were usually seen together) Think they just liked causing me the inconvinience of producing. Shouldn't really have called them ignorant failures..

Im abit of a wanker but not for this point. I speed when its appropriate and never excessively been driving for 3, nearly 4 years and only usually speed on motorways, about 85 and sometimes on A roads witch are wide enough and safe enough. Never been caught, wouldn't argue if i was as i'd deserve it. Each to their own i suppose.
