I was doing 43 in a 30 and got flashed. They gave me 4 points, I'm not sure if 1 point was because I didn't pay and had to go court. This was august 2006.

I know that the points get taken off after 3 years, the other day I got my bike fixed. I was thinking yes only 2 months to go until they are gone and cheaper insurance.

Yesterday I went to enfield with a friend to watch people do burn outs in cars for the first time ever. We rode to excel to watch them drag race and stuff, then I headed home at 1.30am. I got flashed doing about 45. My mind went blank and some reason I forgot this camera 5 mins from my house. I was doing about 50 near clapton round a bout and as soon as I saw the little white lines (the shorter marking s camera and smaller yllow box one) I hit the breaks hard.

Yes I may not receive it, but I think I can'r get away with it just like my first time. Reason I ask is because I'm on a provisional and am only allowed to have 6 points or something or I get banned right? I'm just hoping that they take 2 months to send it to me lol.

Thanks

Points take effect from the date of the offence. Sad

You can have up to 12 points on a provisional, the problem comes when you take your test, if you already have 7 points (or 8) one more point and it's bye bye license and re-take test.

If you're not planning to take your test for a while then you'll just pay more insurance. Incidentally, sorry to burst your bubble but points only come off your license after four years, not three.

Cheers

Ah so I can still do my bike test this summer? I was planning on doing that and saving up for a 600. Probably get arsed raped on insurance :s

So my points last for 4 years as opposed to 3? I'm just thinking why did I do that lol. Musta been tired as fuck and wanted to get home quickly. Atleast I won't get a ban which I thought I was, I couldn't sleep yesterday at all thiknig of that.

Do the crime, pay the fine Embarassed

So if youve already got 4 points
and get another 3 for this
the second you take your full license itll be revoked back off you under new drivers act as you'll have over 6 points...
Lets just hope you dont get a letter in the post Laughing

No, but a single point would result in that. The 6 point limits applies to points gained in the first 2 years after your test that result in you having 6 or more "active" points. Doesn't matter if you have 6 or more when you pass your test.

All the best

That is incorrect. His licence won't be revoked as soon as he passes.

But if he gets another point then it will.

Would be a piss take to pass my test and hear "congratulations on passing your Part 1 and 2, unfortunately you will lose your license" because you passed.
