On friday I was in court for my third driving offence in 3 years, all for speeding. Having been caught doing 89 in a 70 I was slung before a magistrate to answer my case. I layed it on thick saying that my boss WAS going to fire me if I lost my lisence and it would mean exeptional hardship if I wasnt earning any money.

He wasn`t having any of it, the fucker banned me for 6 months.

Today I went out and bought myself a push bike, in 6 months time Im going to be fitter than Ive been in a long time, still, thats no concilation.

P.S I wont get fired, I own the company. :lol:

Cock-suckers - its always the hard working tax payer that gets hit ... you seem to be in a better position if you are an illegal immig that side-steps the congestion charge & drives around in a death trap with no MOT, insurance or Tax these days. The fine system is just aimed at bolstering Gordon Brown's pockets so the Gov't can piss their money away. Rant over !

Re: Banned !

3 speeding tickets in 3 years and you got banned?!?! that is really harsh. here it takes something like 15 or 20 speeding tickets in a year to get your lisence revoked. granted they charge you up the ass for them, but thats still better than not being able to drive! i'd be fucked under the UK laws...

I didn`t expect anything else from your sorry ass, tight mother fucker.

[QUOTE=beanzncheez]Why did you get caught? Were you driving in areas that you've never been before?[/QUOTE]

No, being a salesman youd expect me to know the roads I travel up and down everyday like the back of my hand. Well you would be right, I know them very well, even where all the speed cameras are. Its just that lately over here in the UK the police are now smart fuckers and have taken to putting mobile speed cameras in the back of plane white vans and parking them in places that are very difficult to see. This is the one that got me.

Maybe I should clear something up. Its not that you get caught 3 times in 3 years thats the problem, it`s accumulating 12 points on your lisence. For every speeding offence they give you 3 points. Them points stay on your lisence for 3 years.. so if in 3 years you get caught speeding 4 times, they ban you.

Pickles, this weekend I bought a push bike, taoday was the first time I biked to work, yes Im sweaty, but luckyly we a shower here. Im gonna be so fit.

Sorry to hear that MJ - the speed cameras are bastards - loads of people I know are on nine points.

So does this mean that you are going to have to do another driving test to get your licence back??? Good luck learner :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
