Picked up a TS10 a few weeks ago, had a full bike license for 6 or 7 years now. 3 points and £100 fine or a shitty RIDE course a billion miles away from where I live.

Now, I don't have a car license (Never bothered but need to do it soon) I know this question has been banded about before.... I realise that you have ONE license so three points is three points. When you pass your test you have two years and 6 points to 'play with' or you lose your license and start again.

Let's say I pick up another 3 points in the car within the two year period. Do I lose my license altogether or do I just lose my 'car' license and still be able to ride the bike (since I technically have 6 points left to play with on that)

Ah, disregard. Found out after using Google-Fu. Rules are now that probationary period is from date of your first full test (bike OR car regardless) so subsequently passing another test does not 'reset' the counter.

Fuck it then, 3 points it is.

TS10, failing to obey traffic lights.

Did you forget you weren't on a push bike? Whistle Laughing

No, I was actually trying to do something safe and in the act did something unsafe. Came to a set of lights in the city centre at a large junction to turn right which were on green on approach. Pedestrian crossing on the right where tourists are well known to hop out so had my eyes fixed on the squishies stood there and unbeknown to me the lights changed under me as I was going through. Most unfortunate that plod were doing an 'operation' on that set of lights that day and nabbed me. No defense, bang to rights. Meh.

You have my sympathies as one who often sees pedestrians chancing their arm at crossings in the aforementioned manner up town.

Faced with such a situation I might slow down a bit and hope, in turn, the peds will speed up Twisted Evil

Seriously though if the path ahead is not clear you're not even meant to attempt the turn. However sticking with the highway code in London is a recipe for a ramming from an irate mini-cab driver Sad I've been tooted plenty of times just waiting for peds to cross on flashing amber lights for normal crossings!

Do you not get the option to take the course a venue of your choice ?
as opposed to it having to be in the same jurisdiction ad the offence.

No, they give you a list of forces and which company they use. If you were prosecuted by Force x you have to go to company y. In my case, North Yorkshire...TTC (Or whatever) in Telford. Fucking Telford, 3 and a half hours away.

Must be a motorbike thing. My wife went through a red light in the car and got offered about a dozen venues - all less than an hour's drive away.

At 70mph? If you average 140mph then it's only 1h45m.

It does seem that the relationship between the issuing force and private company offering the 'service' is determined primarily by kickback amount.

As I've always said, those courses can suck my veiny bang stick. I'd rather take the points/ban.

Is it too late to talk about the elephant in the room?

Poor obs. 🙄

😉

The class work is the option I take. I have two bikes and a car insured. Policies can be loaded for each if points are collected. And for three years. The greedy cunts.

My insurance went down when I got 6 points in one hit and ended up on 9.

We'll ignore the £475 fine, costs, and victim tax...

I'm only going by hearsay seeing as I'm a perfectly safe rider/driver and wouldn't know about such things first-hand Wink

You do the classroom work in the force area where you got nicked.
Get done in Newcastle you attend a North East PoPo area class.
Get done in Hull you attend a Humberside PoPo area class.

I'm working my way around the regional force areas to see who has the most efficacious educators.
We don't do that nonsense in Bonnie Scootchland we prefer to rip the gizzard out of road offenders.
