all i can say is if I lost my licence I would be stuffed!!!
i have 3 points for using a mobile May 2011 (guilty as charged! )
3 points for speeding (43 in 30 limit) Guilty even though I didn't know it limit had changed from 40 to 30 600 meters down the road (March 12)
then in april 12 I got done for speeding on A303 doing 81 in national speed limit (guiltyagain!) however that would've taken me to 9 points and the next 3 would've seen me automatiaclly banned!!) so to the Driver awareness course (as discussed in another thread) so points remain at 6
and am now driving very cautiously!!
bike laid up til next year but will still have to be careful til may 2014!
dropping my speed has added a bit of extra time ( 5 mins going to work & 15/20 mins driving home at weekends) however I have increase my MPG from 50 to 65+ in my cage so I am actually saving money and not getting half as stressed as I was before!!
