How many penalty points do you have?

**dahamsta** · 18/12/2006, 1:10 AM

Someone on Boards started a "how many driving bans would we accumulate" thread, I said I'd start something similar here. Feel free to post what you got them for if you like.

Flat-cap Sunday driver comments will result in a permabans. Because you're worth it.

Still on 0 but worried about my trip to Wexford yesterday first camera on the Nass road (100 Km zone three lanes for traffic, easy targets think I got away though) second was on way into Carlow where the speed limit drops down to 60 Km another easy target area

0. Am a good girl!

Such a good girl in fact that this morning I flashed at a driver who came out of their drive way without their lights on in terrible fog. The car stopped and I rolled down the window to see a Garda sitting there. He asked if everything was ok and I said yeah but you need to put your lights on. He blushed and thanked me! Ha!

I am sure he was very surprised but appreciative.

However flashing male drivers can be dangerous as very distracting.

Still on zero, but I've had 2 close calls speeding on the N7 heading down to Limerick, still don't know how I got away with the second one and I've copped myself on since then and rarely go over the speed limit now

Still on 0 points.

Granted I don't drive, but it is the principle that counts.

**The Stars** · 18/12/2006, 1:03 PM

got 14 points from the library in college,but i dont think that really counts

Reading without due care and attention?
Drunk in charge of a scientific journal?

**babydol** · 18/12/2006, 1:25 PM

**Drumcondra Red** · 18/12/2006, 3:46 PM

113kph in an 80kph stretch of Dual carriageway at 6am on a sunday morning with the sun shining and not a car on the road.Fuppin' copper hiding in a filling station litterally jumped out in front of me with his Ray Gun 2pts and 80 yoyo fine

I've been known to do 140 plus on the M7 or M4 and ain't been clocked yet although I suppose I should be carefull now

was cruising along past the curragh heading for portlaoise the other day when I realised I was going over 100mph not bad for a 1.0 corsa

I don't get that logic. No point you voting if you doin't drive.

Its like a pioneer voting in a "ever been drunk poll"

**manofthemoment** · 18/12/2006, 4:26 PM

thankfully still have zero points even though i do a fair bit of driving. Had a 'mandatory' breath test at 2:30 last Saturday night/Sunday morning. Feels so good when you havent been drinking

**Paddyfield** · 18/12/2006, 5:20 PM

2 points.

I got caught on camera in the Culchie Trap on the N4 entering Dubland last year. I should've copped it when all ther D registered cars were slowing down.

**OneRedArmy** · 18/12/2006, 10:02 PM

Drive a Northern reg car and have a Northern license so you get to hum along on the M1 with no bother (although I rarely do over 130kph).

Serving the Queen (as fans of every other EL remind club us) does have its benefits.

Until penalty points are harmonised.

I've no points in the North either, where there are a lot more speed checks, including a cop in a wideboy Golf GTI between Omagh and Ballygawley with bling bling alloys and tinted windows, which is verging on entrapment IMHO

Also, watch out for a unmarked red Hyundai Sante Fe (or a Subaru?) on the M1 around Drogheda who has no tolerance for any speeding and pulls over anyone doing anymore than 5kph over the limit, which on a motorway is ridiculous as the calibration of the speedo may not even catch that.

Also an unmarked black Toyota Avensis with blacked out windows around Carrickmacross (lives on the bypass, usually hiding behind fences).

Been driving since September, 0 so far. Hope to keep it that way

**Superhoops** · 19/12/2006, 12:56 AM

Still driving here on UK licence, a necessity on this N11, otherwise I'd have got more points than Bray this year

**steno** · 19/12/2006, 9:41 AM

0 to date but have been lucky a couple of times. Drove straight past a garda car doing 100 in a 80 zone and I wasn't even pulled. They were busy dealing with some other unlucky soul.
