Shit, 6 points on provisional :(

I disagree

If you are going to play the game then you should just put your hands up and say you'd had a good run when you get caught out.

Or has being a good sport gone completely out of fashion?

Yeah, think of the kittens!

On another note, as a few have said:

On a provisional, you can get up to 12 points.
If you pass tomorrow and then get over 6 points on your full license, your banned. If you get over 6 points on your provisional and then pass your test, even 1 point will ban you. I'm having my license sent back as I type with 3 shiny points on, think of your insurance bumping up and go easy on the throttle.

Hey guys, i know that i have made a mistakes in my life, no need to remind me, all of you know the way of learning on mistakes, i got no excuse for speeding but going today arround town on steady 28-30 i got overtaken almost every second, when i speeded up to 35 i still had people going over 40next to me so i am not saying that i am right, i am just saying sometimes you get bad luck... I am not going to receive any more speeding tickets as i am trying my best not to anymore

By the way i didn't received summon letter yet, is there is a kind of a 14days rule to that as well? If it comes after 14 days it's invalid or something?

You are talking about a Notice of Intended Prosecution, from memory which is occassionally wrong the NIP is served when you have been caught by a camera and not pulled over.

I don't believe it applies to you as an Officer pulled you over, spoke to you and told you he was referring the matter to the Courts.

As for the overtakes and speeding, well. Ride your own ride - let others fuck up their own licences if they want to, don't get drawn in. I'd also suggest you look at your road position - some road positions - too far to the left for instance - encourage people to "slip by" you.

Around town try putting the bike in the part of the road that you would be sat if you were driving a car. It cuts down on the ammount of people trying to get past you.

Depends on where you live.

Kids, not just Kittens, play on the roads around my place. At least Kittens have some road sense.

Hi

That might apply in town, but just because it is a 30 doesn't mean it is a town. Add to that those areas where they extend the 30 limit a long way out of the town, and the new roads that have defaulted to a 30 limit due to street lighting despite no houses at all (I know one 70 limit dual carraigeway that was a 30 limit for several years after it was built).

All the best

Keith's correct (as usual). As Ive posted on here sooooooo many times before, it's rarely as simple as "The speed limit is the safest top speed".

Round here they reduced several NSL lanes down to 50 & 40 zones, and after extending a dual carriageway/flyover the limit was reduced to 40mph even though it's a two lane straight road.

Still, you won't be the last muppet to com eon here regurgitating PC Speeding Nazi's rubbish.

Half-lyfe... sometimes kids just do things like that though. You can't blame them for it. We've all done stupid things when we were younger.

Hi

Can think of in town bits near where I live that are dual carraigeway with no turnings with 40 limits. Just because it has a speed limit doesn't mean there are a stream of kittens crossing the road to a school every hundred yards.

All the best

Ringroad by any chance?

For the record I support choosing an appropriate speed for the hazards (which is why I do 20mph past schools and sligthly exceed the limits on the ring road at 4 in the morning)

However, I believe that Traffic Police and Traffic Cameras are a road hazard and should be treated accordingly.
