    How many speeding tickets and points have you had in your life?

    How many speeding tickets and points in total have you had in your life, and over how many years of driving?

    Has anyone been banned?

    One - Three - Forty plus, I think I was fairly observant and very lucky.

    I had a perfectly clean licence and 13 years no claims when my stroke disqualified me for life

    Maybe 12 points in the last 25 years never above 3 at a time.
    Got a 18 month ban for DD when I was younger.

    Got up to 9 points through some real misfortune. Obviously a precarious position.

    But in a couple of months I’ll be back down to zero 👌

    Wow, what a tragic set of events, he thought he was helping his Son out and did exactly the opposite, a good lesson for us all, our kids need to learn from their own mistakes.

    Ha! Last UK tickets were in 1982......twice in a week near USK......doing 77mph in a 70mph zone...
    Last France tickets early 2000''s ...driving through Limoges.....just over the speed limit...got home..TWO tickets...!!!
    Generally in France...there are warnings of speed cameras /detection AND a reminder of the limit......if you go above then it is just your fault.....in fairness most people DO drive within the limit here....

    Jailing him just feels malicious he must be suffering enough as it is

    3 in 30 years, only one in cardiff (in pentwyn), two others on A48 going west in someone else’s fancy new car, couldn’t hear the engine and couldn’t believe I was doing over 70, in my old golf I had at the time if I made it to 70 the noise was deafening lol…..
    Considering the amount I drive round it’s. Miracle I only have so few…..

    I’ve been done for speeding twice (six points) in the last ten years after having a clean licence for thirty seven years. No complaints about the second one (37 in a 30mph zone), but I’ve always resented the one I got at 9 am on Christmas Day morning on a deserted (and I mean completely deserted) M5 for doing 45 in an area where roadworks meant the limit was reduced to 40.

    Not far over. Didn't you get offered a speed awareness course?

    No, but the van featured in ‘Countryfile’.

    None. 55 years of driving. I do have this annoying habit of sticking to speed limits though.

    Re: How many speeding tickets and points have you had in your life?

    None through 47 years of driving (with a couple of gaps when I had a driver).

    Never had any points in 32 years of driving but picked up a speeding fine in France.
    The motorway I was on snaked through a small forest so the limit dropped from 110km/h to 90. I was 1km/h over the tolerance limit of 95or96 and got a fine in the post a couple of weeks later of about 35€.

    I knew one of the coppers who caught me, played football with his son. He hammered me. I say a farmers field, more like stuck in a hedge
