Once had 17 points on my license but avoided a ban because 9 of them (3 bald tyres) came from the same arrest. In that case, only the biggest one counts for totting up.

So I actually had 11 points adding up for the ban.

This is important because you may have points that lump together like this.

unfortunately they all 3 points. sp30 ts10 sp50 plus whatever i got today

Sorry then Kris but it is likely you are facing a ban. 11 points OK, 12 points not.

May be worth talking to a solicitor?

thats what i was expecting. no point getting upset about it tho, i'm a big boy now and i know the rules. just have to deal with it.  :-/ :-/ :-/

[doog]

did you get stopped for speeding or was it a letter through the post?

If it was a letter through the post  you are required by law to fill in the form  so do that   just dont sign it and return it to them unsigned
my brother done that and got off with it

Did you plead guilty by post? If so, they will probably adjourn it. They will let you know that they couldn't deal with it in your absence and give you a date for a new hearing that you will be required to attend.

Unless one of them is more than 3 years old?

You can ring Court tomorrow to find out. Ask for the Clerk to the Justices. He/she will tell you.

All the best.

does anybody know what happens when you get 12 points on your lisence. do you get banned or can you still drive.  

where did this happen??

on the lancs at swinton on the way into town. van was park on the bridge, rear end on ( not side on)  not sure wich side of dual carriage way they were targeting tho.

not sure i wanna ask how fast you were going, is it a 60 stretch there? i went through a red light on the lancs which apparently has working cameras, got away with it

you'll be shaking for 14 days now

Funny. F funny  


Clerk to the Justices will be able to tell you what happened to you in court today. Like...
Dealt with - what points and fine.
Adjourned - when till and probably why.
Not dealt with if they ran out of time - next hearing date.

just doing what my old rsm told me when he brought me up on charges. "expect the worst son, you get anything less and it's a bonus" a bit of advice i tend to live by now. make life a bit more bearable

[shanjon]

I was still driving on 14 points, when I got caught again and I said that if I couldnt drive I'd be unemployed due to the location of my work and the costs the reply was that I should have thought about that before speeding, and if it was going to cause such hardship I wouldnt be speeding.

In the end I was banned for 28 days, and in hindsight it was better than any points - especially when I was expecting a ban for 2+ years for totting up and the original speeding offence! As an added bonus after the ban my insurance went down as although I have to declare the points and a ban I have a clean licence again.

for advice have a look on http://www.pepipoo.com/

have i got this right ? you get banned and when licence comes back it has no points
