General discussion / Re: How many points have you got?

I've got 3.

I defy anyone doing the daily commute from Newry to Belfast not to have points.

There 6 sets of temporary 40mph zones on the way, and 5 of those are on dual carriageways. The PSNI are on at least one of 'em morning and evening. It's a fookin disgrace if you ask me. I'm on my way to work before the roadworkers have their morning tea, and when I'm on my way home they've long tucked into their dinners. There's no excuse for a 40mph limit to imposed on these areas when no construction workers are about.

True. I've licence for twenty years and not a single point, until I started working in Newry last year. Now got myself 9. Actually asked wife to accept the last three and she told me to piss-off!!! That A1 sure is a cnut to negotiate.

DrinkingHarp, be very careful when playing on-line poker. I know people who have lost a vast sum of money playing it. Cardinal Rule No.1 ..........Do NOT play when you are pissed.
