Right got caught doing 72mph on a 50mph road, the Collecter going towards Chelsley Wood in Birmingham if anybody knows it.

It was in the works van and they have recieved a letter from the police asking who was driving, now, I need to know how many points I face getting as I'm already on 6 and being so much over the limit? I don't really fancy getting banned...

Cheers fellas

From a rough Google, 20+ over the posted limit is basically a court jobby, but you might get lucky and get 3 points.

I'd learn to hold soap.

So it should be 3 points and a fine.

Cheers fellas Karma

Seems I may just be in luck!! Now though, it's three years of keeping strictly to the limit. Might sell my Suzie and get a 125 or something. Would kill me to have to redo both car and bike tests, simply couldn't afford it.

I did not know that, thanks for letting me know. Hopefully it won't come to that though... Just being 22 and on a 600 bike, hard to stay under the limit haha

if you redo the car test (Or even moped Wink ) you gain your old entitlement back, if you do the motorcycle test you are "Re-Doing your test" and I Think you lose your grandfather rights.

No, you'd have to take more tests to ride unrestricted and you couldn't restrict your 600.

Lol.

But no, do your car test if you lose it. Get bike back in full.

Why? You get those auto when you get a bike.. You'd also agree to have the lower licence rules.

I'm not sure how that would work, that is a tasty loophole though..

no P/AM or A1 is not a upgrade as far as I can see they are separate entitlements so.

If I got caught speeding in the car i'd lose all entitlement, but completing the P/am is a new NON provisional entitlement as I have taken a full test thus regaining all my entitlements.

Have your work already identified you as the driver?

If not, and depending how much the points are worth to you, you could offer to pay any fine that's levied on the company for failure to identify. Sauce for the goose.

Even if they have identified you, then it doesn't mean that you were the driver. It's just their opinion, and all you need for a defence is reasonable doubt.

They're not the ones on trial, so will they give a stuff if your defence is "Yehbut, that sign-out sheet is rubbish, folk scribble any old tosh on it. Now over to Baz to confirm that..."

PePiPoo or specialist motoring solicitor, you know the drill. Wink

Know it well, was it a mobile in one of the laybys, or one of the fixed cameras?

Bad luck

Why would you need to retake your test? or have you only had a full licence for less than 2yrs?, if so would it not have been revoked for 6 points or am I that much out of date?

Because it's not yours, it means it has to be thrashed. I may have had the works vans banging off the limiter, and and scraping through tunnels that it turns out were lower at the end than the beginning. Wink

Although I did have the radio on at the time.

If you read the thread, he's worried about getting caught again, because he knows he's going to have, at the very least, 9 points because of this. 3 more points on top of the 9 he is likely to have, will be a totting up ban.


A totting up ban doesn't always mean you need to retake your test. I'd doubt the OP would have to do their test again if they got 12 points.
