A friend of mine ( not me honestly ) is due in court shortly with yet another motoring offence.He thinks this will bring him to 12 points or more on his licence and fears a disqualification.
Can anyone advice on what his best approach should be.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
motoring offences..12pts.
Re: motoring offences..12pts.
On reaching twelve penalty points the courts will normally disqualify a driver from driving and suspend the driving license. Currently penalty points are removed three years after the day on which they were imposed.re carefully?
Can anyone advice on what his best approach should be, advice him to drive more carefully in the future??

Re: motoring offences..12pts.
I would advise him to try and show to the judge how sorry / stupid he is, and explain all the hardships that losing his licence would cause. For instance and invalid wife who cannot get out without transport.
I am assuming the Friend is a male. I see no other way than pleading with the judge..

My sat nav bleeps when you go over the speed limitmouse wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2020 6:08 pm I think a gizmo which measures your speed and flashes when you exceed the preset values, this could be used to retrain your driving habits , because with silent , smooth and powerful cars it is so easy to exceed the speed limit by large amounts, this also brings into question the practicality of some of the cars we are driving!
Ps a cynical thought, how about a device which turns your phone off when you exceed the speed limit !

Couldn't resist posting this after the mention of a satnav by WHL:
Satnav – A new poem by Pam Ayres.
I have a little Satnav, it sits there in my car. A Satnav is a driver's friend it tells you where you are. I have a little Satnav, i've had it all my life. It's better than the normal ones, my Satnav is my wife.
It gives me full instructions, especially how to drive "It's sixty miles an hour", it says, "You're doing sixty five". It tells me when to stop and start, and when to use the brake And tells me that it's never ever, safe to overtake.
It tells me when a light is red, and when it goes to green It seems to know instinctively, just when to intervene. It lists the vehicles just in front, and all those to the rear. And taking this into account, it specifies my gear.
I'm sure no other driver, has so helpful a device. For when we leave and lock the car, it still gives its advice. It fills me up with counselling, each journey's pretty fraught. So why don't I exchange it, and get a quieter sort?
Ah well, you see, it cleans the house, makes sure I'm properly fed. It washes all my shirts and things, and keeps me warm in bed!
Despite all these advantages, and my tendency to scoff, I only wish that now and then, I could turn the bugger off.

Re: motoring offences..12pts.
12 points is usually quite a serious offence!
Chaddy, I am no Angel behind the wheel of a car and I have definitely broken the rules before now but, perhaps you should say it how it is, and tell him to expect the worst. . . . . . .And hope for the best.
Also, I agree with Trev. The only course of action is pleading.
