Clean licence?

[Ian]

Just seen this question asked by someone on Facebook, and thought I'd see what points everyone's got!
its in the arms just incase anyone's fibbed to their insurance company :lol: my licence is clean now, had 6 points in the 15 years I've been driving, 3 for jumping a red light and 3 for doing 72 in a 60. Not had anything since 2005.

Clean licence since 2005. Then it was just 3 points 34 in a 30.

Thats rough! 4 mph over the limit, you'd get one of those awareness courses nowadays. Don't forget you will have new speed restrictions when you get your new van, I know a couple of people who've been caught out by that.

I got 3 points for doing 43mph in a 30mph then 6 points for doing 98.96 mph on the motorway. 3 points cleared then I got done for driving without insurance in my brother in laws car as I thought my policy covered it 3rd party so got 6 points which have me a 6 month ban. That was in 2004 and is long gone on my licence. Touch hairy wood, I've not been pulled once since for anything!

Well done mate, now is that because you stick to the rules or because you've been lucky ?

Me.................... atm 3 for talking on my phone, did have another 3 that have gone now for speeding, 38 in a 30, I'd driven home from Portsmouth iirc and got zapped 2 miles from home, hey ho.

Well it is............ errr .. good driving :lol:

A mate of mine has been driving a similar amount of time as me and has never had a single point, luckiest man alive I can tell you! It makes me cringe to think how I used to drive when I was young, bloody idiot. I'm very sensible now though, especially with a sign written van.

Clean licence for over 30 years and it's still the paper one.....passed my test in 74 though....couple errors in my early years.

 

[DHTiling]

I drove for 10 yrs with no license , passed when i was 27 ... not had a point and even when i had no license i still never got a point...

Only ever been pulled twice by the cops and that was after passing my test lol lol .. random checks..

Clean licence now. Have massed a few over the years though. Used to drive regular upto Scotland and down to London once a week in a former life, clocking up about 50k miles a year. That was when I had to rush around seeing customers as I covered a very large area.

Now I don't travel too far for work and take it easy on the accelerator.

One was when I had to catch a ferry from Gourock to Dunoon a regular trip for me and the ferry only went once an hour. I'd got my time and distances pretty well sussed after a few trips up from Leeds, but on one particular occasion I got stopped on the M74 without a car in sight for miles through the hills, and I got done by the vascar doing 83. Couldn't believe it.

Another time was joining the M62 during rush hour. There had been an accident on the opposite carriageway and the traffic was at a standstill. As I eventually got to the top of the sliproad I was flashed by a big arctic to let me out onto slow lane. I actually went across the white arrows at approx 2-3mph. What I didn't see was a copper the other side of the truck and when the traffic started moving he pulled over and did me for 'cross hatching'.

I had just got a 2 day old Peugeot 206GTi in black, and he was going to have me for whatever he could. He was asking me questions about the new car and wanted to know how fast it went.

I calmly replied "70, it does 70 miles per hour"

Never had any points which is odd as I spent from 17-22 riding motorbikes in a brisk fashion. Never sped in built up areas but my biggest problem now is talking on the phone while driving. Seem to make all my work arrangements when I'm driving but the police can't see you from the back in a van. :lol:

I got done on the M6 toll road, it was empty as always. I got up to about 175mph on my Gixer, not for very long mind. Slowed down and the got pulled over. In the back of the car the very nice officer said to me "now then i think we will deal with this by way of a fixed ticket, which will show 99mph £60 fine and 3 points, does that sound about right?" to which i said very quickly yes. We then went on to talk for a while and i found out he was a biker as well. He did ask just what i got up to and i replied to him 99mph you just gave me the ticket. I did tell him and he said that he thought it would be around that, and then he even told me to be very carefull around cheshire as the police there were having a blitz on speeding. Very nice copper indeed.

Very clean. Nuls points. Never had any either or been pulled by the police.

 

[Aston]

ive got a clean licence, hope it stays that way too.

 

[Bubblecraft]

I had the gun on me on a new bit of motorway today. I was doing 70 & knowing, my luck it was a 50. Guess ill find out within the next few weeks

 

[Ian]

The coppers shouldn't be pointing guns at you Gus, lol!

45000 miles a year for the last 10 years and thanks to 1 speed awareness course i have a clean licence. had 3 points about 9 years ago but theyre long gone.

 

[CJ]

3 points about 7 years ago.

Few weeks ago I took my wife to Bristol airport as she was goin home (as she puts it) to Edinburgh......in my excitement of having the house to myself........I got zapped doing 35 in a 30 zone. Bar stewards. Filled in the form for the "awareness course", and I await a date??? :incazzato::incazzato:

 

[Bubblecraft]

.......I got zapped doing 35 in a 30 zone...

Guess they didn't like you then. Unless your reckless or being cheeky, you normally get a slap on the wrist. There is a 10% + 3mph grace but its up to the officers discretion

I was at the back of a row of cars trundling along........it was a sneaky parked camera van thingy. Checked on google.......minimum is 35 in a 30 to get a ticket.

 

[Fliselege]

That's how I got done in 2005, last one in a line of traffic trundling along on a Sunday morning.
