Kraziekatz1 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Just wondering, for no particular reason, how many points the average Z driver has on his (or her) driver's license? Quote
brillomaster Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 been driving 6 years, 3 of which in cars with >250bhp, so far none Quote
Vlad Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) 3.... Got caught in my mega slow van as well 40 in a 30... Genuinely thought it was 40mph zone and even didn't slow down when I saw camera van Last time I drive down that road - it was 40...ent been there for like 9months...and in that time they changed it to 30! Annoying! But only myself to blame! Edited May 11, 2014 by Vlad Quote

ATTAK Z Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 0 ... just 2 courses on how to be a better driver 1 Quote
Vlad Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 2? Thought you only allowed one? Or I guess they were more than 3 years apart? Quote
-Bradders- Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 3 should be gone soon though as i think it was 3 years ago Quote
Kraziekatz1 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Posted May 11, 2014 0 ... just 2 courses on how to be a better driver First course didn't work then? 2 Quote
ATTAK Z Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 2? Thought you only allowed one? Or I guess they were more than 3 years apart? Nope ! I happen to live in an area where it's 5 miles to South Yorkshire, 3 miles to Nottinghamshire, and 10 miles to Lincolnshire ... I got caught in my own county in the Aston and in South Yorkshire in the Arosa Quote
martinmac Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 No points for me and only breath tested once. That was at a meet abd I wasnt driving. Quote

I got caught in my own county in the Aston and in South Yorkshire in the Arosa Oh...was that long time ago when police had different databases for different counties? As I think I heard that its all 1 database one and all linked up. I might be wrong tho Quote
DonCool Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 None.. now. Have had nine in about 20 years of driving, all from traffic cops. The last copper was pretty decent, "Well I clocked you doing 93 but we both know that by the time you saw me you were going a lot faster than that." He wasn't wrong. He also said nice things about my mr2. It was the nicest bollocking I've ever had! 1 Quote
davedutch Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Vlad, you are right. Been caught twice in last three years, second time one month to early cost me three points as no option to take course, even if in different counties it still counts and if they find out can cost lots!!! Three points on my license and that's good for me, been as high as nine but I do do 60, 000 plus miles a year (nil points in the zed) Quote
JetSet Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 No points for me and only breath tested once. None here too and in 48 years of driving I've never been breath tested. My last driving offence was in May 1991, speeding at 80 in a 60 zone, 3 points. Pete Quote
Squee Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) 5 I was a naughty girl...wasn't even in the Zed but in the other half's TDi estate! Speeding on the M5 (just speeding, not dangerous driving or driving without care). No speed awareness courses offered to me and had to go and stand in front of the magistrates oops. You know you've hit rock bottom when you find yourself shopping in Primark for a suit for court But I've been driving 12 years and in that time it's only been those 5 points which is quite good as averages go. Save your speed for the track! S. Edited May 11, 2014 by Squee Quote
wizurd Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Zero for me (crossing fingers now I've said that). Most I've had is 3. Had an understanding copper one day years and years back that probably saved me another 3. Quote
zeddy addict Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 None yet but can only afford to put petrol in the zed once a month, great deterrent! Quote
zzzzz Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 None, only had 3 and that was driving a diesel van up a hill. Got done a couple of times in the States and had to pay instant fines. Quote
