    hi can anybody help please my son-inlaw only passed his test last year in october i think! any way he has just got 2 tickets for speeding on the same day one for doing 35 mph in a 30 limit and another for doing 45mph in a 30 limit. will this mean he will lose his licence ?

    Yes. He will get two seperate endorsements and lose it under the "getting 6 points in the first two years" rule.

    He would be better off going to court rather that paying the fine.
    He could then argue for a reduction on the points to allow him to keep the vehicle .This would require him to argue his case for the vehicle being essential.
    Maybe 2 points and a bigger fine.

    NOT A CHANCE with a 45 in a 30. More like a bigger fine and MORE points.

    Rikki's post which states "the allowed 6 points" - does that mean that he is allowed 6 but once he gets 7 his licence will be revoked "once you have been in receipt of a fp notice that takes you beyond the allowed 6 points"

    No, it's equal to or more than 6 points. So 6 points or more.

    Secondly speeding kills trust me I have been to many fatal accidents.

    Then you would know that it is inappropriate speed that may kill, and not simply exceeding the speed limit.

    That's women's logic for you.

    ??

    If you are banned, you get your licence back once the ban has been served..

    If your licence is revoked, you need to re-apply for a licence, and re-take your test.

    You think they are one and the same?

    he is taking it on the chin and accepting all the concequences of his actions . and if it means him losing his licence then so be it he understands what he has done ?
    thank you all for your costructive and non constructive advice .

    Isnt excess speed inappropriate that is why we have speed limits????

    However yes inappropriate speed is also a factor based on factors around you.
