Why not get your father/mother to take the points - that's what they're for

Mom doesn't drive, and dad's already got 6 points - can't afford another 3. Besides, his insurance doesn't cover other cars.


Well I've spoken to a shockingly nice chap at Staffs Police Central Ticket Office who's sending me another copy of the NIP and let me know that yep it was exactly where I thought albeit on my high-speed run northbound. Thankfully it's only 81mph so it's an SP30 on my licence and £60 to the "safety" camera donut fund.

dont be sad steve , think of it as a wise and worldly travelled hound
that has experienced so much in the auto world rather than a pup that
has not yet left the nipple of its mother to embark on this thing we
call life

I got an SP50 in 2000 - does that make me a lunatic?

Don't worry m - think of your License as 'slightly soiled' rather than 'dirty'

[puggy]

some years ago i got a weeks ban and £165 fine for doing 127 mph on the m20
the same week Damon Hill on the same stretch for a similar speed got £150 at the time
he was on 5million a year and i was unemployed go figure

Sarky Copper - "Who do you fink you are then, Damon Hill????"
Damon Hill - "Errr, yes actually"



Dude, he was an upstanding pillar of the community with a proven ability to crash cars at high speed and you were doalite scum. Obviously different rules apply.

See if they'll offer you one of those "speeding is naughty" courses. My brother in law got an SP30 and took the course and they waive the points.

My mate Dave went on one of those 'Drink Driving is naughty' courses - he said is was crap....they only served Tea & Coffee

Not even a nip of JD in the coffee? For shame

You know you shouldn't drink and drive cos you'll spill it!

Big hug for Puggy

Oh I didn't know that. Half of me thinks that's not fair and the other thinks it's a good plan. Of course my driving license has just turned 18, it's now old enough to drink

Mine's nearly 16, old enough to have sex and a smoke afterwards!

Thankfully I'm about to hit 3 years on my licence so I've got the full 11 points to play with

It shouldn't affect your insurance at all then Matt!

I thought the minimum age for Smoking was 18 now?

Written NIP's must be delivered within 14 days, unless you were driving a company/rental car. I would send them a letter stating you have not received the original NIP and would like a copy (recorded delivery of course).

Take a look at http://www.pepipoo.com/ which should give you a lot of information regarding your rights etc.

If you go past a fixed or mobile camera which was obscured by something, i.e. hidden, I would turn around and take a picture of it in the direction you were original travelling. They are not allowed to hide in bushes etc.
