1) This is in the wrong forum
2) Yes Others on here have lost their licences
3) Twice in one day! you sound like a right plonker - you should stay away form cars untily you can handle them and respect them.

Sounds to me liek 6 points and a couple of fines - and yes, if your a new driver its the test again  Maybe you should take it easy while your 'getting used to driving' instead of bombing around like all young kids do - thinking there invincible. Maybe your not as bad, I don't know, but seriously - why push your luck??

Was it temporary speed restrictions on the motorway?
Aren't temp ones non-endorsable? Just the fine.

Sometimes it takes a few points to calm people down - and the £60 fine helps - don't like paying for nothing in return!

I know! I was only doing 20mph over the limit cause it was a 70 limit!
But they couldn't prove it!!!
I never speed anymore. I would have had to sell my car cause im only 17 and nobody would insure me with 3 points!!!

You are allowed 10% and 2Mph. So in a 50 you won't get nicked til you're doing 57.

I was doing 57 in a 30 and apparently if you dont hear within 6 months ya get let off, i git the letter through with the date of the offence a week before the 6 months was up!!!!
Got 6 points and £155 fine
£120 for speeding
£35 Court fees
Drive sensibly now, athough very luck cos a local tosser thought it would be funny to slam his breaks on in fron of me making me go sideways on the wrong side of the road, the car stalled and i stopped 20yardsfron two police cars and 6 coppers, they let me off and did the other driver, coppers aint that bad you know got allot or repect for them they are only doing their job.
