Good point, you'll still get the full 6, but frankly if you're planning on getting 3 you shouldn't really be riding all that fast.

The convictions are a whole different thing, but if you get 6 points alongside the convictions, they will rape you of your licence.

u have been told, imagine my shock a few years ago now nearly exactly 1 year after getting car licence they send me a letter asking for it back already had 6 points add another 3 on for speeding i said but i had them before licence so i should start fresh on the 6 i got they basically said fuck u. sad all about the money at end of the day.

Move abroad for 2 years, come back all gone then.

I know what its like, my wife only passed her car test last year at (28!!!!!!!), so she has to be soooooo careful.

And living in the police camera state of west yorkshire, its been hard for her.

She literaly drives everywhere at the exact speed limit, if she sees a camera, she will cut the speed to 5mph below the speed limit. (These buggers flash you at 31 in 30s)

From the DVLA site.
IN10: Using a vehicle uninsured against third party risks.......... 6-8points

LC20: Driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence.......... 3-6 points

[3806danny]

so 3 more points and thats it?

[Nath]

Danny: Only if you have points on the license allready. Since you've had these convictions it would seem probable that you do, but you said you have no points

Beefy, that's perfectly normal. If you allready have points they are taken into account, but only once you receive more. IE if you got 6points whilst on your provisional they will not take your license away as soon as you get it, but if you get any points at all you lose it straight away. This doesn't strike me as too unfair since points dissapear after a time. And it takes time for people to mature and learn, does it not.

However the points system is obviously not right for the times, as we now live in an age of speed cameras and intense traffic policing with the sole aim of catching speeding motorists.

Points are a good idea though, as if you have only fines, then you're basically allowing only the rich to break the law.

If you don't want to re-take your licence, don't ride like a prick.
