Driving ban

[JCSPLUMBING]

Can't believe it, I got banned for 3 months for 12 points for two speeding offences on the same road from two different cameras. I had 6 points. I'm buggered now. I have no idea what I'm going to do. Wife's offered to drive for me but I reckon that would cause major arguments eventually. I was lucky I only got 3 months and not the normal 6 but I had a good motoring solicitor. I may have to pair up with someone.

Maybe find one of those guys offering to work for peanuts in exchange for work experience? He drives, you teach?

Good idea that. Right on Christmas as well. Bloody nightmare

I have heard of people with more than 12 points and still keeping licence as their job depended on driving.

Not that lucky mate. I tried that one. He wasn't buying into it but did halve the ban length

Perhaps if you worked in for the council it may have been different

Really sorry to hear that, JCSPLUMBING, sounds like Rays idea may be a good thing for you both, you never know you may get on so well that it becomes long term. I hope it works out well.

Yep , I feel for you mate, that must be a right sickener , depending on your speed/s I never really regard a few miles per hour over the limit much of a crime .

TBH the last thing you will get from me is sympathy. With 6 points already on your license you should have known better.
Its not like it was your first offence.

Speed cameras are the worst thing in this world, i'd say about 10% of people actually drive at the speed limit all the time

ive been lucky up to now though, i've gone through about 6-8 speed cameras that ive questioned my speed on afterwards but nothing in the post just yet
