Yeah right;) If you drive regularly you would have .

You can believe me or choose not to, it doesn't matter to me.

and not many actually do stick to it, even although they know it and are aware of it.

That's still not an excuse.:rolleyes:

One thing's for certain, your Dad is gonna have to comply now or he'll be banned.

the NSL may not have changed over the years but lorries have, imagine the difference in stopping distance between an old lorry from the 60's compared to a modern lorry. night and day i would guess.

You can say that about most vehicles.

Of course, they do not exist, however, that doesn't mean that we all drive like plonkers, with total disregard for the law.:rolleyes:

Inactive,
I sometimes, if not always agee with you, but in the context of this topic and in view of what you have just stated, do you ever break the driving laws in in even a tiny tiny way??

If you don't you will be the 1st mister perfect I have ever met;)

No, and if you knew my driving background, that would explain why, but I ain't about to broadcast that.;)

I think the main point has been missed here, its not he driving offence that the OP got points/fine/ban for its the fact that he didn't fill out the S172 and in doing so didn't name the driver. That carries more wieght with the court than the original offence does (in this case).

ifirst points were doing 52 on a single national speed limit,his vehicle should have been doing 40,caught via camera van, so he sent off his licence then after a few weeks he got caught again doing similar ( yes,yes, he should have leant his lesson i know) single national speed limit 50 where he should have been 40.

so there we go, a professional driver who has been driving for 30 years and then almost looses his licence in a matter of days.

He was driving well over the speed limit for his vehicle, that's not unlucky or unfortunate it's bad driving just because you don't like a law or don't agree with it doesn't make it OK to do what you like.

I drive a lot too and I keep to the speed limits on a roads and around town and guess how many points I have on my licence?

i never said it was an excuse :rolleyes: im not here to make excuses for him. im simply stating how a good driver can be made look a bad driver on paper.

the more you drive then the more likely you are to get caught doing something wrong. driving all day every day is covering a lot of miles.

50 in a national speed limit in a lorry isnt a bad thing. get a grip.
