Location: 254.45 miles from Tiverton, Devon (ENGLAND) Rep Power: 9  Gender:  Country:  | A UK road rule I certainly didn't know about Since July 1997 all learner drivers have been put on probation for two years after successfully taking their test. Six or more points picked up during that time means the driver goes back to being a learner – not only do they have to apply for a new provisional licence, but they have to take their test again. As the new academic year gets underway at the region’s universities, the Lancashire Partnership for Road Safety is taking this hard hitting message on the road. Young and newly qualified drivers are more at risk of being involved in a collision, with many resulting from excessive speeding. To keep points free, drivers need to keep within the law. There are many motoring offences which result not just in a financial penalty, but also come with the added problem of points. Traffic light offences can result in three points and a £1,000 fine, and excess speeding could result in a £1,000 fine and up to six points on a licence. | ||||||||

Location: The other side of the Lake from work Rep Power: 11  | They've got something similar in my area. You get your L when you hit 16, then at 18, provided you've not picked up any points, you get your full on lisense. If you get 8 points, you're back to taking Driving Instruction. __________________ You can't wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you - Look, if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor, just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!  | ||||||||

Location: 3498.51 miles from Tiverton, Ontario (CANADA) Rep Power: 16 Gender:  Country:  | Around here not having a license doesn't really stop anyone from hitting the road - most of the accidents that our folks get into are with unlicensed drivers who either lost thier license or undocumented folks who never had one to start with. Sadly with the state of the system these days these people are pretty much let off the hook, there are fines and things of that nature handed out but I haven't heard of anyone being tossed in the clink for driving without a license. | ||||||||

Location: 254.45 miles from Tiverton, Devon (ENGLAND) Rep Power: 9 Gender: Country: | Unfortunately it's getting more and more like that over here too and the honest drivers who tax and insure their cars are having to pay more in insurance to cover the damages that are caused by the uninsured. | ||||||||
