So I did an Alpha

[GeorgeB.]

Well, not quite, but it is looking like I might lose my licence after not having it that long

My own fault, overtook a silver Audi on the wrong side of an island, turned out to be an unmarked traffic officer

He reported me for driving without due care, apparently it goes to the force's central ticket office and they decide what my punishment is. He did say I might get offered a course, but I dunno.

How fucked am I likely to be on a scale of "lucky bastard" to "pass the lube, please?"

Wrong siding a roundabout is pretty bad, you're lucky it's not dangerous driving to be honest. Not much you can really do other than wait and see. If it's not a course but 6 points it might be worth going for court and begging to keep your licence, but magistrates are advised not to reduce points just to get around the New Drivers Act when sentencing, so you'd need something pretty special to get away with it.

Aw, I thought you meant you were smashing a married woman's tonsils in.

Hi, Mumsnet.

It's likely to be 3 points, don't fret until you get the bribe offer through.

A quick googlage hints that this contavention is down to the Council to enforce. Do some more digging.

Could be why he has gone for a due care & attention things as opposed to a failure to adhere to sign type contravention.

My advice? Don't just suck it up.

some areas of the country 'island' is used to refer to roundabout

OP, can you clarify what you were the wrong side of please?

Oh, I sees.

Otherwise, a 'normal' island is a non endorsable offence. see https://www.met.police.uk/foi/pdfs/disclosure_2011/january/2011010002633.pdf code 334.

An 'abnormal' island is just asking for trouble. I can't belive OP would be that stoopid - would he?

You leave town tonight, right now. And when you're gone, you stay gone, or you be gone. You lost all your BCF privileges. Deal?

It seems, the rule used to be just treat as a junction but has been revised to make you go around.

If I do get the full arse raping 6 points and license gets revoked, if I take my car test will I get the bike entitlement back aswell?
