im sure crossing the 12 point barrier isnt a statutory 12 month ban but a length of time determined by a judge so if you have co operated fully he will take that into account when sentencing.
if you fight the system they will crush you like a bug but if you play the remorseful,appologetic game they might be a bit easier on you.

How long ago did you get the first of those 9 points ?tomtomtom wrote:i'm on 9 points as it is and if i send it off it'll be a ban and one of those driver courses-MEGA!

There is no "Mega-driving" course, that is for people banned for drink/drugs or death.
A "Revoke" is not a ban. its worse........
After a ban your licence is returned to you in the state it was before the ban, ie: Full or Provisinonal.
When your licence is revoked, Your Full licence status is taken off you and you are then classed as a learner again, and as such, have to retake a normal driving test, both tests.......to regain your Full licence.
I speak from experince.
some points will come off in may. so if i send off my licence and i am as you say revoked, if i do my test again will i go back to zero points? how come the letter says i can drive for 12 months on a revoked licence?kam-325i wrote:How long ago did you get the first of those 9 points ?tomtomtom wrote:i'm on 9 points as it is and if i send it off it'll be a ban and one of those driver courses-MEGA!

Surely the point will be put on from the point at which the offence was commited, so by delaying it all you're doing is p*ssing them off, and making it worse for yourself?tomtomtom wrote:god knows, i'm on 9 points currently, with 3 pending, i've not sent them my licence because if i do it, they'll put the three on and i will have got 12 in less than 3 years so i will be banned, so i've just been ignoring the letters hoping to drag it out til may when three will come off, but two days ago i got a letter saying i need to send off my licence AND from 11/11/07 my licence has been revoked BUT i can still drive on a revoked licence for 12months. thats the bit i dont get.
cheers for all the advice, keep it coming as i've never been in this situation before.
seems that being revoked is better than being banned though? i simply take my test again and start from scratch?











Translated into Official Speak is:2. i'm a busy motherfuck£r who really cant afford to be banned
It won't do you any favours.2. Rules? pftt, they're for the little people. Out of my way, peon

As for trying to play dumb and not sending it off, they will screw you to the wall, give you a longer ban and if taken to court a fine as well as court cost. Just send it off!!!!!!!
And blaming your Mrs for the last 3 points due to an unfinished arguement and unmarked police car, hmm was it her who put her foot on the gas pedal..........NO it was you. You have not told us what the first 9 points were given to you for, but i guess it was for speeding as well especially since you say you love thrashing the tits out of it.
There is a good saying i heard "if you cant do the time, dont do the crime"
Im also gathering your quiet a young driver, so i will be sitting in wait for you to post another topic............'Why is insurance so high for young drivers'
Now be a man and face up to your own actions!!!!!!!

Better screwed than facing a heavy fine or locked up.tomtomtom wrote:hahaha, i have no problem in facing up to my actions i've got the letter in my wallet, i'm gonna sort it out today! i've just been avoiding it because if they tell me i cant drive, i'm literally screwed.

however if you are banned (i did not see the letter) and caught then, you are arrested, sent to court banned on top of your existing period and the now added benefit of a criminal record..ordered to resit a test and it a lot harder than the one you took before
sort it man!!!!!!!
