marshy Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) i got 3 points for doing 36mph in a 30 zone during my first year of driving..being that i was in my 2 year "probationary period" and that points stay on your licence for 3 years iirc (feel free to correct me) and if you amass 6 points within 2 years your banned...if i get 3 points after my 2 year "probationary period" (which is due to end shortly)am i still elidgeble for a ban???considering that the 3 points are still on my licence for another year??not that i intened on collecting any more points..i learnt from my mistakes the first time.

MikeyRS Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 In short....no if you get 6 points in the first 2 years then you will get banned and have to resit your test the points stay on your licence for 3 years but 4 years (depending on offence) on the police database
marshy Posted May 12, 2008 Author Posted May 12, 2008 mobile speed camera...so if i get 3 points after august (which is when ive had my licence 2 years) i wont get banned?
Fat Del Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 Shouldn't do mate... I'm really paranoid about getting points and losing my licence so I never really speed if I can help it.
EddieCorstin Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 mobile speed camera...so if i get 3 points after august (which is when ive had my licence 2 years) i wont get banned? Hey Dude, you wont get a ban, they will revoke your licence and you will have to reapply for a proffisional and retake the theory and the prcaticle test, i got 6 points for driving my girlfriends DRUNK DAD home, we had his car and i siad dont drive i will take you home, (thinking my poclicy covered me ) i was wrong, 6 months later i go to court and they say DVLA are revoking you licence £175 fine and 6 points (also wasted £550 on a stupid lawyer who did not fight my corner(who i am currently refusing to pay lol)) (speeding maybe a different thing tho) i also got 3 points for talking on my mobile so as it stands i have my new driving test on 23rd May, after takeing my thoery again and passing, the tests dont get harder so dont worry, and the length you are without your licence depends on how quick you can book your tests, mine has been 2 long as months, lost my high paying job by getting demoted because i needed to drive everywhere with it and also my new insurance preieums are now this used to be £1100 for Ford Escort Estate 1.6next year its £2200 for Ford Escort Estate 1.6 the way the northamptonshire police are sucks they will take you down for looking at them funny, i mean i had no reason for the police to pull me over that night, Eddie
1pukkadeal Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 Shouldn't do mate... I'm really paranoid about getting points and losing my licence so I never really speed if I can help it. just as well your car has a top speed of 30 then Del
dutchkev Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 its also down to the judge aswell and seriousnes of offence etc, if there having a bad day then they can screw you for whatever they please!! they may see you as "out of the probation period" but you've still got the points there so could swing against you for prior convictions
EddieCorstin Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 i ment to say if you get more points before your out of you 2 year period, you will get the revoke, after that i think your all good till you hit 12, not saying you should get more

Police don't really need a reason to pull you over, they can do it to catch people who don't have insurance or whatever, as per the bloke above.
