[motorbikez]

[jojo]

None for 10 years, then 6 points in one go in February of this year.

@Katy, I was just wondering, how does 13 points effect your insurance premium, and whats the response of the person taking your details down?

 

[Bash_A3]

Jeez you must all drive like Miss Daisy!!

or we dont get busted

 

[bouncer--daz]

touch wood... none so far.... been VERY close on many occasions though!

 

[Slick S3]

i've got none and been driving 11 years....but don't be fooled, i've been flashed many times at silly speeds but nothing ever come through...even had a police chase recently! and got away

 

[mastayoda]

i did have 3 points, from a long time ago in a citroen AX GT lol, but i just changed adress, and it came back blank!!!!! So i guess they are spent

 

[adrian2006uk]

i have got 3 points

 

[Prawn]

even had a police chase recently! and got away

ive theyve seen you speeding and they catch you, your in the **** anyway.....

if you KNOW you can get away, and they wont get close enough to take your plates, then why the hell not give it a shot?

good man.

0 points for me still, wont turn the key unless my road angel is plugged in first.

that said, having a camera/laser detector is still not a licence to speed..... its all about observation, ive seen SO many people pulled over my the undercover VRS cars around here..... i wont ever overtake an octavia unless its got a wife and kids in it.....

 

[Quattro_Lew]

none but got a court appearance on the 27th for doing some miles an hour on the M40

 

[voorhees]

3 points
on the way back from GTI summer fest 05 and was racing a Z3 by northampton doing 120 in my VR6 but was caught on my doorstep doing 62 in a 50!!

What a stupid attitude! Its this kind of sh*te that puts the rest of us in danger! What happens if someone, while driving like a tw*t to get away from the police, has an accident and hurts or, god forbid, kills someone? They'd be in far, far less **** if they just pulled over accepted what was coming and therefore not recklessly endanger other peoples lives simply because they didn't want a few points and a fine!

There is absolutely, totally and utterly no way of "knowing" you can get away!

There's a black one that prowls up and down the A50 in Stoke/Longton. Saw it tonight again, there had been an accident in/near the Meir tunnel and it was stopping traffic from joining the A50.

 

[s3sam]

none!!!

sorry if my post came across as very 'boy racer'

but i believe in SOME situations, it is worth it.....

for example, comming home one night, around 1am, in my hillclimb preped mini, near my home in cornwall, i came around a corner, doing around 75mph in a 60 zone, and i cut across the white line to smooth out the bend (obviously i could see round the bend, and wasnt doing anything dangerous)

whilst i was straddled across the white line, a police car came round the next corner the other way, and saw me going quite fast, straddling the white line.

as we passed, i looked in my mirror, to see his brake lights and sirens come on, there was a turning point just after the corner he was approaching.

at this point, i was doing around 80mph, whilst he was still doing roughly 40 in the OTHER direction.

i knew the roads very well, knew the police car to be a standard 1.6 focus, and knew my mini to be almost untouchable locally along said roads, when driven well.

by the time he had turned around, i would have been a good 1/2 a mile ahead, with a large 3 way junction approaching, all exits going into forrest/high sided hedge row roads, so obviously if i got down one of them before he reached the junction, i wouldnt be found.

i made the split decision to go for it, shifted down to 3rd, and shot down the smallest of the 3 roads, driving briskly, but not stupidly. i got back to my house, teared into the drive, and manged to wedge the mini behind my mums car, before running inside.

5 minutes later the policeman knocked on our door, he had recognisd the car to be my highly tunned mini, and knew where we lived (its a small village in cornwal-everyone knows everyone)

when he asked what i had been doing all evening, i told him id been watching TV. there was nothing he could do, so he just left.

the end.


im not saying that a high speed blue light chase involving silly manouvers around a crowded city is ever going to be wise, and looking back, i doubt he could have done anything at all having not been able to record my speed at all, but i didnt want to risk it, and it was quite clear at the time that i could get home unseen.

if speeding fines were really issued for saftey reasons, there wouldnt be nearly as many of them given out at all. everyone deserves a chance to explain themselves, sadly, the Law doesnt give us that chance....

lets face it, everyone had driven stupidly at times, and if you THOUGHT there was a chance you could easily get away with a speeding ticket, you would, wouldnt you?

this was a few years ago now, i dont actually feel the need to drive the audi as fast as the mini, even though its quicker in a straight line.

 

[dog fart]

i have none

 

[AndyMac]

There's no option for "none" because no ones interested in what people haven't got.
