I have been driving for 16 years and never had a single point, until this morning. I 'accidentally' jumped a red and got myself 3 points and a £60 fine. Damn !
-
All my points have been awarded to me when riding my motorbike, never had points in a car. Have a feeling I might get a few in the GTI :evil:

Can you accidentally jump a red light ? :undecided:
-
Unlucky mate. Gd work for not getting any in 16yrs! Although ppl go through red lights all the bloody time where I live and it really pisses me off.
I had no points for 3 yrs till I got my Civic Type R. I got 3 points within 3 months of owning it. These days im very careful, or at least I try to be! The worst thing with my points was it made my insurance go up by £70 :sad:
-
Following on from this, it would be interesting to find out how many points our 'family' have (if any) and how they achieved them !
Answers please.............
-
Nil points. :smiley:
-
3 points for doing 38mph in a 30 :sad:
-
None here yet. Although I have the suspicion that I'll get some soon... :evil:

You could go on a speed awareness course and not have them, if you can bear the pain (and £80-ish cost).....?
-

I thought my first points would be for speeding.....!
Why the worry, have you been a naughty boy/girl Jo (like me)...? As you haven't got them straight away, I assume that they might be derived from speed camera's or other stationary devices........transfer them to your partner !

Unlucky Red. How is it they always catch you when it was an accident?? No points for me yet, guess this post will jinx that! "it was an accident officer, I didn't realize I was going so fast :)"

Oh dear pal !
You should have got 3 of them in the GiT !

No points for me (yet).
R32 - ouch. I really hope you don't have to downgrade.
Try one of the compare/meerkat sites and state the mods (admiral are OK).
I was in a similar position when direct line refused to insure me after the bluefin - admiral where actually cheaper than direct line before the bluefin.
Keep trying and good luck. :smiley:

Boy! And good idea. Next on action plan is to get myself a partner. Why do you think I got a GTI? :wink:
-
As, after 16 years of driving, these are my first points (trust me, i've been lucky!), do they go after 3 or 4 years...?

Four years from the date of offence :sad:
Got my first 3 point last year, after having a clean licence for 24yrs! Sitting at traffic lights on red and my phone rang - answered it and a cop car drove past the opposite way and clocked me. Done a sharp u-turn and pulled me. Gave me a ticket without hesitation :angry: Didn't have handsfree as was in a different car at the time. Live and learn...

Never had any points, but 3month insta-ban in 2006 for doing 118.5 on the M74 one dark Sunday night.... learned my lesson that night
