I should have got some today at 2pm, I'll have to wait for my license to come back to find out how many (btween 3-9.) So I claim the prize for the newest if not the greatest number.

Luckily I'm in the same position as TokyoSteve in that the German police can't give me points either.
No points for speeding here anyway just escalating fines(been done once in last year 10quid fine 39KMPH in 30KMPH zone) and for other offences it varies. when you get 18 then you get a warning to change your driving style and 24 is a ban which I believe you can choose when to take(usually during your holidays and only 2 months max I think but not 100£ on this point). No automatic ban for DD either which is wild when your from the UK!!!!

I've got three, but they don't count now as they are too old now! Don't have a license at the moment though (well waiting for it back for change of address + hopefully loss of points)

Exclamation

23 years driving, no points, full NCB, no claims ever.....but I still drive like a *** occasionally so must be lucky (NEVER speed in 30/40/50 limits though, whatever in the GLF's).

Advantage of living in the boondocks....

.....6 points ....
3 for an SP30 - 49mph in a 30 limit
3 for an SP60 - 79mph in a 60 limit

before I get flamed - the 49 in a 30 was on a dual carraigeway leaving the city and not in a residential area and it was midnight....hidden unmarked Omega with a Radar

...and the 79 in a 60 was fair game - never even saw the camera - lucky cos I was doing an indicated 148mph just before..... at 4am.....again non residential
IMHO - its outside schools and shopping centres these cameras should be sited - its these local residents who are guilty of killing kids.....

Greek police can't give me points either with my Aussie international licence and I can renew it every year by sending a fax to my family in Aus, with a copy of my Aussie licence and photo, then all they do is send my new international licence to me through the mail and I'm set for another year. I got booked 2months ago for 30 kays over, paid the fine with no points given .

BLOODY HELL
Just worked it out . . . . .


TOTAL POINTS OVER LAST 10 YEARS = 38
Never had more than 4 per offence, usually just 3.
AVERAGE 3.8 per year, anybody got a better score ???

Got to 12 concurrent twice, kept licence on both occasions.

7 at the moment, and waiting to see if Digital Camera 2 miles from Silverstone got me a fortnight ago.
Contingency Plan . . . Have ex girlfriend who is prepared to have the points on her licence.
Only setback is she say`s I`ve gotta go out with her again or she won`t do it . . . ****
What would you do ?????
Cheers
SCOOP

EDITED COZ I JUST HAD A THOUGHT . . .

If anybody else wants to get their points put on her licence, all you gotta do is go out with her . . . might save me the trouble, any offers, she`s a bit of a Biffa . . but hey

I'm young and innocent with 0 points as well

Thank god there aren't any cameras on the road from Donnington Park through Melbourne and then onto the A50. I know it rather well....

One big mother of an accident though

Speaking of old folk, 21 years without an incident. Also very lucky.
