was on way back from cinema and stopped for red light where there was no pedestrains in sight and i never usallydo this and thats why im so pissed off with myself....but i went through and got pulled - yes 3 points he made it sound like i was lucky. i was in such shock nearly passed out
i have 11months till my 2 years is up and im not joking im pedrified of getting banned i need my car
so i think first step is sell the gsi and get a 1.5 corsa
how much it work 89k 3 owners from new one was a old man who has it for 11 years

Don't be so ridulous. Keep the GSi, Slow down and mind the lights. It's only 11 Months!

TBH getting a different car is unlikely to help prevent you getting points - just be more careful

How will buying a 1.5 diesel stop you going through red lights? Do they have those advanced warning systems like on the trains
Seriously though, whatever car you have, you can still speed or do stupid stuff to get points. Not worth the change IMO, just don't be silly for the next 11 months .

Are you joking. I have 3 Points and still have 14 Months till my 2 years is up, doesnt really bother me. Just be carefull. Changing car wont make a difference.

Keep the GSi. You've lasted 13 months before a mistake got you 3 points. Just be a little more careful and another 11 months should be just as easy.

ha its true though......next time your at the lights look around you, everyone does the same. Or sometimes even get folk wiggling around pulling there undies from their arse crack to relieve the wedgie they have been enduring for the last 5 miles!!
Traffic lights the place to relax, reflect & prepare yourself for the rest of your journey......use it wisely
