what does it say

[yorkshirelad3]

oooh, im going to go out and buy MCN now, i know someone famous!

[instigator]

I don't know why they bothered to be honest, but well done I guess.

[Mr.Everready]

Along the lines of



I really do feel the need to write to you all and tell you about this situation.
I received my full un-restricted licence back in March this year after almost 6 years of being on a provisional, struggling to save the money for the lessons and test whilst battling through the loss of two bikes and vandalism with little or no help from my local police force.
Recently I have noticed an increase in high performance vehicles used by the police in the Cheltenham/Gloucestershire area including top spec Mercedes, Honda’s, Range Rover’s and the newest recruit being the 187mph Suzuki Hayabusa mentioned recently in your paper.
Which, and I quote “Gave some raised eyebrows whilst riding”, I bet.

I saw a few letters come in last week mentioning road users being caught exceeding 100mph on uk roads and not receiving a ban or points etc.
Well I am now writing to you because of my situation and how amazed I am at the harshness of the hidden penalties that I now face.
I was caught out by a new scamera on my daily commute, unfortunately for me I had carried 3 points over from a previous offence which means that I will have my licence revoked.
Looking into the process to get back onto the road after exceeding the speed limit by 9mph on a dual carriageway, it appears I am looking at something in the religion of £300 and £350 to regain my full licence.
The speeding was indeed my fault, but I am finding it hard to come to terms with the penalty I am facing for it. Such a small margin of error and such a huge price to pay, it looks as if it will be a hard few months ahead.

I can just see the DVLA bods falling over themselves to give him his licence back!

Nicely done Killa.

I have to be honest, and say that I didn't think you'd get it published. Fair play mate.

Also means I'm going to have to go buy the damn thing now.... You should probably be on commission.

Thanks Keith

I didn’t think it would be printed either TBH, the point of the letter wasn’t so the DVLA would send me the licence back, just a rant I guess, wasn’t even the full story.
Good to see it got in there though, no idea why some of you take the piss, seems to be a constant battle on here lately.
Hope you enjoy the read.

Are you prepared for the replies like you received on here in next weeks paper, for the whole country to read?

You got caught by the system to stop people getting points on their license within two years of passing your test, you knew what the law said and you got caught.

I know that you're angry Killa, but to write in to MCN about it after what's already been said to you on here...

Do people write into MCN to get free pens or signed photo’s of Rossi then? Um NO actually!

I don’t give a flying fuck what you think Adam, yourself and a choice few others type the same babble in my direction just to be difficult, it becomes tiresome, it’s easy to state the facts of life to me, why just, not bother eh?

If your licence was taken away I doubt very much you’d just think ‘Oh well I’m a twat la la laaa’ and post a thread on here saying ‘Licence revoked, oh darn it’
Of course you wouldn’t you fucking doughnut, you can’t ride your bike you’ve been saving and dreaming of for 5 or more years, can’t go to work on your own (or for some, loose your job), can’t go visit no one, cant do fuck all really.

Yeah I’m angry, you don’t know the full story of the unhelpfulness of the pigs in fact I know you don’t really care, so why reply? Why take the piss when you really haven’t got anything interesting to say?
Adam: ‘Killa you broke the speed limit so you get points ok’ fucking have a medal!!

I’d love to pile the shit I’ve had from them on to you for saying that, but I can’t, oh life’s unfair eh?.
I really don’t understand some of you, my close friends say they feel the point system is a little OTT when it comes to the new rider thing even though I have in effect been riding for around 6 years, they know I was breaking the limit but understand I was being a reckless twat who speeds everywhere at all times.

After a lot of struggle to get where I am today, for them to take it all away in an instant is quite hard to take, just my personal thing, as bikers on a biking forum unfortunately for you lot you’ve had to listen to me go on so I apologise for that.

Adam is a fairly sensible guy. I think if he was within 3 points of losing his licence he'd be very careful.

[fuzz]

Just interested, but what is the full story i.e. where were you caught speeding/limits etc.

You dont need to post details here, just a link to the inevitable original thread will do.

If you stick to 100% of the law 100% of the time. It's highly unlikely you'll lose your licence through any fault of your own.

How come it is going to cost you so much money to redo your test then?

I was under the impression that a test was £40 odd. Do you have to redo the written one as well?

I haven't been following the threads on this because frankly, I could do without the bickering.

Killa, i think you are a dude and all but i would have to agree with Adam. 3 Points off a ban is treading on fine water.

When i got caught speeding i stuck to every speed limit religiously as i knew 3 more and i was out of the game.

[Method]

Mike, dont take this personaly, 'cos i think your a decent guy, but dont you think its time to let this die?

Your not the first to loose a liscence.
You wont be the last.
Stop making an issue of it.

Im also on 3 points, and i saw that as the point to think "Woah, slow it down" (well actually it was my g/f, i just listened to her for once), but with a year left of my probation period, i cant afford to loose it. If however i do get another 3 points, yes i would be absoltely gutted, but it would be my fault for being an idiot. And yes, i would probably post a little note here saying what a tit i have been. But i would also admit it being my fault, and take the punishment like a man.

I realy hope that this is your crowning moment and that you feel proud of yourself for getting into MCN, and realise its about time to shut the f,ck up, sit the hell down and get that push bike serviced.

Sorry if this sounds a bit harsh, hope to see you back on the road soon Mike, and look forward to that rideout

Killa mate,
I can understand how incredibly pissed off you feel about this whole matter.

I could say you have been unlucky, but to be honest with you as someone whom I have never met, even you might have had an inkling that this was on the cards.

I used to look at your sig and think, 'For Christ's sake be careful, hang on in there a bit longer until you are home & dry and got your 2 years under your belt!'

I've got until May 6th 2006 to keep a clean sheet, but I know that this could be snatched away from me if I am 'unlucky/stupid/unaware' enough to be caught twice.
I could be pootling down past my local cop hotspot and get snapped riding into town and riding out within an hour of each other and 'Bang', there goes my licence.

So, I can understand how it can happen so easily.

So, take a deep breath, carry on with your plan to regain your licence (good luck with that by the way!) and try your very best to keep hold of it once it's in your clammy mitts!
