    Just wondering what the total number of penalty points we have between us here on boards... might as well get some fun out of them:mad:

    I have a grand total of 4.. all for speeding (I do circa 35000miles per year)

    So post your amount and adjust the total at the bottom

    Southbound on the M1 during the Drynan interchange construction. A special speed limit of 80 kph was in place and a Gatso on the hard shoulder surrounded by traffic cones took a pic of me doing 103 kph. :mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,836 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    Maybe add a poll? 6 points some of you have, jeez, wouldn't like to see how that would effect my premium:eek:

    Speeding on three separate occasions, all of which were financial rather than safety traps. One for 80 on the dual carriageway coming into Cork, with zero traffic; one for 60 at 2am at a crossroads that was given a kneejerk speed limit after a crash; can't remember the last tbh.

    It's definitely slowed me down, but I'll pick up again when I get them down to 2 next year. Speed doesn't kill, bad driving kills. (Not trying to start a flame war, just repeating a mantra I believe strongly.)

    Got my 2 on the old kilmeeden road out of Waterford, still in a 50 zone but roads looked country, and as such I thought the limit was 80 !
    Unmarked car followed be for a bit to see if I did anything else, where he stoped me was 80 and similiar condition road.
    In the gardas defence it was raining and I did have poor visibility at the time, and he did say sorry when he gave me the ticket :)

    Added a poll. If anybody has an uneven number (ie 5) just round it up to the next uneven amount

    Thats 80 mph then? :)

    fade2che you have to be careful down there, the 50 khp has been extended a long way in the last few years, nearly to the county line.

    75 now I come to think of it, but yes, mph. I don't believe in those new-fangled kph things.
