I'm not just on about speeding, but anything.
I dawned on me the other day, of all the people I socialise with including family, I know of 10 people that have never been done for anything.
Compared to a few years ago where it was almost a sin to have points, nowadays it seems that everyone considers it the norm to have a conviction or two on the licence and have got something on there.
I believe that there is NO escape, the laws of probability will get EVERYONE eventually as the rules become more and more bizarre and the density of camera's and traffic increase.
I'm NOT saying it's cool to have points, just that it seems rare nowadays and getting rarer to actually come across someone who has never been done for a traffic/driving offence.
Are we getting worse as a nation of drivers or is the state getting greedier? (Thought for the day
)

) It is really hard to keep your license clean these days and it is now acceptable to have points.

Never been caught!
Been driving 14 years and still clean as a whistle...
I have been told there is a way round it, which involves applying for a replacement licence whilst still clean, but this is very naughty!!!!

Sorry chaps, I`m going to take the prize! Honest and I can prove it, I got my first licence in 1960, my second, and present one is dated 07/05/1976 @ a cost of £5.00. Not one point,EVER!. Lucky barsteward I can hear you saying...true I have to admit, I have had my moments when I would have deserved it though, not without guilt I admit, just never got caught when I was speeding.
I had to smile a month or so back, got pulled in the wifes Metro,(waiting delivery of my MY02), bobby gets out, "Do you know why Ive stopped you" say`s he. "No because I wasn`t speeding and I don`t know of anything I`ve done wrong" say`s I. "No seatbeld", Have you your licence?". I produced it, "Bloody hell this is old".
I opened it and the look on his face was a picture. Spent the next ten min`s talking about the Scoob and he bade me on my way with a "dont do it again"! and a smile on his lips.
Sometimes it pay`s my insurance is £436
