    Been driving since 87,no accidents or insurance claims & only 3 points for speeding (46 in a 40 zone) thanks to some w****r in a Mercedes who came tearing up behind me & I had to speed up to pass the car on my left (dual carraigeway) to pull in or the Merc would've gone into the back of me.
    Been stopped many,many times by the police & army but they were security checkpoints..

    Clean for 37 years, which is surprising seeing as I worked in the Motor Trade for 25 of those years driving all sorts of weird and wonderful vehicles often on Trade Plates, which seemed to be a magnet for the motorway plod.

    In the first year after passing my driving test I had 6 accidents. :eek::eek::eek: Before the MSE Polis crucify me, they were all non-fault accidents. In 5 of the accidents I was stationary at various junctions and traffic lights when I was hit from various angles.

    I had a couple of 3 point fixed penalties in my early 20's but nothing since then. I actually attribute my lack of points to the teachings of an advanced driving instructor called Paul Ripley, aka Gods Chauffeur.

  • Driving for 22 years and no points................have gone through a speed camera a couple of times and its flashed, luckily there was no film in it at the time. I'm not a speedy gonzalas but neither am I a sunday driver. I drive as a rule to the speed limit (except when I didn't realise what it was) the road conditions and weather, other traffic on the road.

    I can't help thinking that many responding to this thread are poking the fate dragon firmly between the ribs.
  • Clean and always has been in 16 years of driving. Mind you it is probably only a matter of time before one of the government cash machines (speed cameras) catches me.
