Ticket for speedin

[yamaha125]

Arh dammit, after 18 lessons of driving lessons i get a letter for speeding, The letter says they sent me a letter 28 days before but i didn't replied so this is the second chance there giving me, i just opened the letter today and it was sent on the 7th of January, and today is the 15th so it over 7 days which i was suppose to send it before then. I'm going to send it of tomorrow which is the 9th day , so i could get 6 points on my provisional which means i cant take my practical test

Will they let me off for sending it to late, all am i just going to get a heafty 6 points .

You can still take your test, but (I think) if you get any more points in your first two years, you lose your license.

So if i got 6 points on my provisional i still can take my practical test and drive a car ? [Sorry just want to make sure]

PS: this is practical test for a car license

Yes you can still take your test my friend has 6 points on his licence and lost it but was allowed to take the test again.

yeah you should be fine, just phone them up and tell them the situation and the letter arrived yesterday but was sent on 7th, they will be a bit more helpful and say you made a few mistake and everything but dont hope on it to much!! well a friend of mine was practicing round the block and got pulled for speeding and he has no licence or insurance, he got either 6 or 9 points i think(idiot) and he took his test and passed, in 2 years if you get one more driving offence then instant ban. however unfortunately it will rape you car insurance - he had a 900 quid nisan almera and it was 2300 to insure so just tread carefully and good luck with your test!

How on earth did you get caught speeding if you don't even have a license yet?

You can get 11 points on a provisional and still get your full license, but yeah, like was said 1 more point and you will be back to learner

Plus any more than 6 points and the insurances start to get interested, and when they get interested it tends to make your wallet lighter


STOP SPEEDING!!!

The big yellow box usually provides something of a clue

Seriously though - we all have *those* roads that are just so much fun to ride, but it's a matter of license and death that you learn to behave on it, or at the bare minimum, know it well enough that you're doing the right speed at a) any camera spots, and b) any potential mobile radar traps.

You know how you do a lifesaver at right turns, even though you know that 99% of the time there isn't going to be anyone daft enough to overtake at a junction while you're indicating to turn? Same thing, except the lifesaver is the speed limit, and the idiot overtaking at a junction is a plod with a radar gun.

Disclaimer: I'm pissed, so the above analogy may or may not make sense.

Can't you contest this if what you're saying is true?

Get a speed camera detector, I use TomTom and it's helped me hang on to my licence the last few years. You can D/L the torrent, use it on a smart phone and it will cost hardly anything, (apart from a reciever).

Mine packed up in London a few months ago, i pulled over to try in vain to get it working again and when I pulled off I rode straight into a speed trap and got caught doing 38 in a 30 I bluffed my way into paying the fine 4 and a half months late If anyone needs to keep a clean licence for a test or insurance, or can't afford the fine, ring them up and tell them you can't find your licence and get a 28 day extension. I did this 4 times, even paid 2 weeks late on the last extension and got away with it
It's doing nothing that will get you in the sh1t

For some reason, because he said 'driving' lessons, I assumed he was talking about a car (despite the fact that this is a bike forum, doh )

I thought he'd managed to get done speeding even with someone else in the car with him.

But yeah, easy enough to do on CBT I suppose.
