None.

Had 4, all expired now.

Points aren't the worst, it's the bloody fines that come with them.

I should have about 10 points in the last 3 years but I have none because my cousin is a member of the Garda traffic corp.

I'd rather have 14 penalty points than a cousin who's a traffic cop.

Na, it's because I drive the same way I post on boards, stick to the rules, don't draw attention to yourself and lick arse at every oppurtunity.

Why lick arse if you obey the rules?

Got my first 2 just there, paid my €80 fine today, then did a great big wheel spin leaving the post office.

Why look both ways at the junction of a one-way street?

Because you never know what might be coming.

Could be. They don't like me taking the car out anymore

They might be into drifting so it could be backwards-sideways with the backwards man driving it forwards.

None, but around 8yrs ago back in the UK i got 3 points for doing 40 in a 30 zone, they last for 3 years.

3 years to the fcukin day, the same day they were due to be removed (June 6th) i got done again, same camera, EXACT same location, same speed :mad:

Daqster

I have none but surprised I don't have some speeding points at this stage as I refuse to go 30kph in some nonsensical places were that is the limit.

AlanS181824

None because I don't drive.

None but only because they have all expired, usually in the 2-4 range.

My neighbour has 10 and none that will expire soon. I told him he would be better off getting a ban and recieve a new license with 0 points lol

ye, I got talking to him in the post office as he was paying the fine. He is wreckless and deserves to get a ban/lose his license. He works as a welder so badly needs the license aswell :eek::eek:

I find it funny with such little enforcment in Ireland how people can rack up so many points lol

There's GoSafe vans around now, doesn't have to be the Gardaí who catch you speeding.

I have been driving for 15 yrs,not one penalty point.Moved to Donegal,as soon as I changed my plates etc.Was giveb 2 penalty points....for going over 1km.Swear the Garda could hardly contain their excitment in doing this.Probably made it an National Garda holiday in their honour.

So... You moved to donegal from where ? And why did you have to change plates... And exactly what plates did you change?
And... You were given penalty I points for what?
Methinks you have a serious attitude problem.

El Guapo!

Got 2 points for the first time a couple of months ago. Caught speeding on the m4.
The guard never showed me what speed I was doing though and I think he's supposed to. I suppose I could've argued against it but probably wouldn't have been worth the hassle.

Nil points

Have 4 down from 6. Got them all within 4 months. Two were Garda camera vans, I was doing a few kilometres over in a 50kph zone both late on Sunday.

The other one was going through and orange light but a Garda parked up at the port tunne/east wall roadl junction didnt seem to think crossing 6 lanes takes time and when he seen the green in his side assumed I went through a red.

Havnt had any more 2 years later, have I changed my driving, no. With the shooting fish in a barrel merchants you can just be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
