My girlfriends just come back after a week away with her daughter.
Her daughter got caught by an average speed camera in Nott's at the begining of last week, on arrival home today she has a second one. That's not the best of it, the best bit is they're both on the same stretch of road & this one's a few days later. She now has nine points :o :o :o :o
She'll have to drive steady now else lose her licence. I don't expect her insurance company will be happy to hear of the news or maybe they will, with an increase in premium.
-
the increase comes at renewal time :'(
-
With the increased installation of average speed test devices, there will be many more unfortunates and an ever increasing number of raised premiums.
-
A little off topic but i wandered how many guys and gals, on the forum have clean driving licences.And how long have you held them,ive had mine 30 years.

35 years for Bike and Car test around 30 years for HGV and PSV. Seems like only a few years ago :-X :'(
Been caught for speeding twice, one in a truck, 7.5 tonner, on the A1 at Doncaster, when speed limit was only 40 mph for trucks. Again on the A1 for doing 86mph on the A1 round Catterick in a Mk 5 Cortina Estate. Both vehicles were the same company, both about 28/9 years ago.... :)
-
Two in 57 years, one when I was 20, 36mph in a 30.
Next 34 in a 30, 4 years ago.
Both on dual carriageways, going downhill.

yep.. they do give you points if within one year you pass 20 (means 4-5 fines) you loose the license.. :(

I thought 10% + 2mph was the norm ? :-/
We should all drive long constantly staring at the speedo,might mow a lot of people down but wouldnt get done for speeding. ;)
-
I had a clean licence for 27 years, until a few months back. Most annoying part is that it was a
moneybox camera van about 100yds from my house.

Yet another person who does not understand the word, average.
I see sooo many people fly up to the average cameras, slow, then speed off again. ;D
