In your first 2 years of driving in the UK you can only accumulate 6 penalty points then you will have your licesne 'revoked' meaning that they just take it off you and make you resit your tests.

I got 3 points for speeding in March 06 (2 weeks after passing i was in an unfamiliar area and was doing 30 in a 20)

Then i got a further 3 in February this year for doing 45 in a 30 (My own fault, me and a mate were having a little race...) :thumbdown:

Welcome dude, still awaiting pics of the ride :D

I know what it's like (not losing the license, but the pointsystem), here you get 3 points for the first 5 years since you've got it, and you have to keep at least one or else, it's revoked.
But a mere 10 or 15 mph speeding ticket won't take a point away, that horrible over there!

So good luck, and pay a little more attention to what's on the side of the road, it saved me a lot of tickets in the last two or two and a half years...
