Has anyone on here got points or been banned .. If so what for?
When i was 17 i went through an orange light so did the car behined me but i got pulled and they said i jamp a red and got 3 points......
Then i was being a cock when i first past my test doing handbrake turns ect in the snow at about 4am in the middle of knowhere in a huge car park with cameras i was later to realise
Got 6 points/6 month ban/£600 fine
I pleaded guilty to it but im guessing they were making an example of me. My mate got a similar doing but he was allowed 12 points so 6 didnt put him over the limit
I know it was a horrifically stupid idea in every possible way but i have learnt my lesson and dont drive like that at all
Im 20 and have pulled my neck in

My mate has 6 points for speeding and reckless driving - he under took an unmarked cop car - oh dear.
2 weeks ago he got clocked doin 101mph in his GTO, received his NIP earlier this week and now has a court case coming up, hes off to see as soliciter today too. So hes facing a ban and fine of some sort, best he can hope to come out with is another 6 points which will still give him a ban. He thinks his last 6 points ae due to come off soon though, so they mgith end up tryin to hold the case off till his license is clean again to give him a better chance. Driving is part of his job though + he lives in falkirk and his mates and girl live in edinburgh... hes gonna be fecked if he loses his license.

hola that!
no fixed camera in North Yorkshire either.
I probably should have got points for taking out two Feds on push bikes but that was back in febuary :)
Although for my cycling antics i should probably be never allowed on bike ever again.

Got 3 points for speeding. Might have to go on a course aswell for careless driving or somethink. From when someone crashed into me and wrote off my car. Might be taking that to court as i dont think im 100% to blame.

Got 5 points plus £500 fine two weeks ago - caught doing 101mph on dual carriageway half past midnight one night back in May. Lucky boy, would have been banned in most cases, but pleaded guilty, represented myself, and said I needed my licence for work. Phew! Road Angel has now been set to beep at me at 96mph. :D:

My mates boss has written him a letter sayin he needs his car for work or the business would fail, hopefully he can get somthing similar, he'd rather pay a big fine than lose his license im sure!

I got 3 points for goin through a red traffic light because i was reading a sign which was strategically placed nexy to the camera. I was lost, on a 40mph road and when i saw it change there was no way I could stop, ah well, just means now i'm totally paranoid with traffic lights and will probably cause someone to smash into the back of me
