I've got 6 on mine, although the last 3 were three years ago. Considering the miles I do for my job (And football!) it's not too bad, although I do use my camera sensor most days  |

I've got zero, although when i was 19, i got clocked with a radar gun at high 40 something in a 30, when actually hit nearly 80 being a twat (not built up residential 30, it was the road between farringdon rd and commercial rd at about 3am and tried to belittle a towny by getting egg on my face).
I thought my license was gone, but i just got 3 points as they clearly didn't catch the speed correctly. Bizarrely that taught me, big time, and i never speed in 30s and only occasionally and in a small way in 40s (queens drive and the like). I obviously still drive quickly on country roads and motorways, but i now generally drive like an old man. :old:

0 points in 7 years, and never been stopped.
Think 3 points are heading my way soon though, for doing 35 in a 30 in Standlake last week. Got the notice Monday, just waiting to hear what the damage is

0 points in a whopping 2 years on the road. That trip to Yeovil didn't make it easy though, cameras everywhere! :|

Yeh the sun was terrible, think that's the only time I've slammed the breaks on cos I couldn't see a traffic light! |

I was on 9 points at one point. Scary stuff. Have you actually tried keeping to all of the speed limits, all of the time? Most of the time you feel like a right idiot with a large stream of traffic queing up behind you. That was rough.
I have 0 now. Yay.

3 points got in my first year of driving, not my fault tho, on the m4, there was road works but didnt see any signs was doing 70 mph and got stopped and told it was 50mph, i tried to argue it that there were no saying so but apparently there were, but since then no points, bin stopped a few times for silly things like having my fog lights on.

What, getting stopped for it or the knob heads that drive round with them on when it's not foggy cos "it looks cool"? I was on 9 points for quite a while, got back down to 0 but think I am on 3 again now. |

Think im clean now, got 3 fines for mobile usage some years ago, points for speeding, let off driving back to london for under cutting a unmarked car at 1pm and then police pulled me over at 2am coming bcak doing 110, but as I passed them they simply followed me at 65 all the way home.
I think The King CY wins this!!!!!! Will leave it to him
