Totting Up FAQ

I didn't realise that 12points via totting up was a recommended automatic 6month ban

GarethB

Depending on the lawyer / court it is perfectly normal for people to drive around on 12 or even more points.

12 points does not automatically mean a ban, it's just very likely.

Don't get that one, I'm afraid.

gaddafi

eh?

i dont see how she was a good citizen if she had 9 points plus a mobile phone offence, that doesnt scream good citizen to me.

Deserves the ban in my opinion.

you're not very bright Luke, are you?

and you're painfully transparent

(look it up sonny)

If you do anywhere near a normal number of miles say between 12,000 and 20,000 miles you come across so many speed cameras, fixed and mobile that the chances of you getting caught speeding by one of them are very high so much so as to make luck a 'relatively' insignificant factor in keeping your licence free of points. Paying attention for cameras and traps is what keeps you from getting points, that may not make them a good driver though.

Phone offence is 3 points but is also taken seriously by insurers so i'd imagine she'll also be looking at a hefty increase. A 6 month ban seems harsh but totting up of points usually indicates the person is a persistent offender and so will be probably be dealt with more severely..

although I feel for her as I don't think she has done anything as bad as driving with no insurance, if you are on 9 points you don't drive around on your phone tbh - your asking for trouble if you ask me

lmao, I knew as soon as I posted this you'd be along with some kind of cocky reply. Seems everytime I post on this forum your there, being arrogant.

It was your topic, asking our opinions and I gave mine. If that makes me not very bright then I'm sure I can go and cry myself to sleep.

I find your post quite a personal attack really, you don't know me, so what gives you the right to call me stupid.

I don't consider myself as not very bright. I'm a member of Mensa, I got all a's at a-level, I got a degree in chemistry, and turned down a place at oxford university in the process. I was the youngest fully qualified refer in wales when I was younger (this has now been beaten), and never failed to get any job I've been interviews for. So to be honest I wouldn't consider myself as not very bright.

I resent the fact you've said that to be honest. I'd never attack someone like that on a forum. To say something like that is out of order, to think it its fine. I wouldn't call or type something about you, but to think your arrogant and pompus would be fine. . . Oops.
