Master Vamps - stupid boy!!!!!
« on: 10 November 2010, 21:25:56 »

Got a letter today from Northumbria Police ::) ::) his car is still in my name, well you can guess....Speeding, 40mph in a 30mph in Sunderland..... ::) ::) ::)

No point in having a go, I tend not to speed but we were all young once.... :-X

The stupid thing is that the particular speed camera has been there for 14 years that I know off, can be easily seen and there are ample warning signs. When I mentioned it to him he was not surprised as he saw the camera flash....

So I will have to send in his details and he will get a fine and 3 points, thing is he has only just passed his test so next time 6 points, is that it? or can he still have 6 points and then lose his licence after that? I am a bit out of touch.  ::)

If you get 6 points in your first two years after passing your test, you loose your licence.
And, any insurance company will hike the cost of cover by a lot with points added to a young drivers licence. Someone I know had to sell their vehicle as hardly any insurance companies would touch him, and he had 3 points.

As Josh says 6 points in 2 years and you have to retake your test. Is this his first offence? If so can try and blag a course.... Same cost as fine but just a one off

But he wont learn his lesson that way. ;)
I remember just after I passed my test I went to Dublin, and promptly crashed into a police car of all things. Insurance etc was in dads name so they rang him from the cop shop, where I was being held. Dad said "his accident, his problem, nothing to do with me" and put the phone down. ;D ;D ;D

I agree, harsh as it may seem, what lesson is it going to teach to take the points? This is real life and you have to live with the consequences of what you do IMO

You have to tell them when it happens. If any 'material facts' change you have to notify them of that. So when the 3 points are added to his licence, the insurance company need to be notified at that time.

I wasnt best pleasede at the time, but I laughed about it later. He didnt have me on his insurance again though. He only did it in the first place to try to get me away from motorbikes, as I had almost died in an accident the previous year.
It didnt work. ::) ;D ;D

But it will almost certainly slow him down and make him more aware :y

At the end of the day, we all speed at some point... He's now going to learn a valuable lesson that it has consequences :y
