points

Just Interested as I was stopped by an unmarked car today.. I had no excuse and put my hands up to answering my phone whilst driving.. Was in the wifes car, no handsfree, but still no excuse... Should have known better after the stories of unmarked cars and helicopters following our every...

The thread title says it all. Do I need to notify my insurer immediately or do I wait until I renew? I'm uncertain if I'm "obliged" to do so and I'd rather avoid paying OTT "admin" fees where possible! :)

Former Eastenders star Dean Gaffney escaped a driving ban today after he was caught on the M25 in roadworks doing nearly 100mph and talking on a mobile. Gaffney, 29 from Great Bookham, Surrey, was given a £115 fine, £43 costs and 3 penalty points by Guildford Magistrates' Court, but he didn't...

I was driving along on the weekend and went through a amber light which changed to red as i crossed the white line. I was turning right in to a side road and the police were coming out of the side road there was one officer in a traffic car he stopped me and gave me 3 points saying that if his...

If you forget who was driving when caught by a speed camera....6 points! http://news.sky.com/skynews/video/videoplayer/0,,30000-1285332,.html

I have no problem with this legislation, but does it then give the impression that it is okay to use a CB or amateur radio whilst driving? (Holding, or using a microphone) Likewise is it okay to program any type of GPS whilst driving? Then we start looking at Tuning a radio, Replacing a...

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but as from February 27th, it looks like Motorists caught using their mobile phones while driving will have three points put on their licence. The new law will come into force on February 27.

Penalty points accumalated in NI are not recorded in GB. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/6272855.stm

In the past I was told by Insurance company staff/brokers that fixed penalty points for i.e. SP30 three points would not affect or bump up a premium but any more than six and you would be in trouble. Insured my Dad on my renewal policy last night (he has picked up 3 points) and premium by...

OK, following the speed camera thread, and the chap that got jailed in Manchester for perverting the cause of justice for lying on the speeding ticket form Heres a poll - how many people do you know that have taken points on their licence for a friend/partner/spouse/money. I think its very...

Quick question – If a vehicle has a slight over hanging load – i.e. some timber hanging out of the rear door (but by a small amount) on a van then is that a penalty endorseable offence of 3 points as well as the £60 fine…?

Then take a look at this, free taxi's for the duration of any up and coming ban ! https://www.licenceguard.com/ssl/start.asp?rn=LG6SMART&co=LG6KJUHWWWEJCNNSSD

Would anyone know: is it possible to have ISOFIX attachment points added to an existing car that was ordered without them? 2005 W211 in my case... thanks much for any comments.

Hi, I've been reading the thread regarding timing chains on the C230 K four-pot and wondered if there were the same sorts of issues on the V6 unit? What are the weak points or common issues on the 2.4 I should look out for (mine's done 114K) Laz --

I've looked but I cannot find it in my hand book :confused: . Where is the best and / or safest place to put and use a trolley jack on my C Class Coupe both front and rear. Up to now I have been using the scissor one from inside the boot but it gets a bit precarious at times so I bought a...

OK my new car might have caused an issue today, I have 9 points on my license 6 from an IN10 driving without insurance where my employer let their company car policy lapse and I got a producal, still my fault for not checking the paperwork.. and a speeding fine.. I was trundling along in my 1...

With a mighty thud my new trolley jack gets dumped on my front doorstep. A mere 37 Kg. So, the question is simple. Are there specific lifting points on a W211 Estate for a trolley jack and if so where? If not what are the best point to lift from? Nothing in the manual. Had a quick look...

Hi Please can you tell me how you remove the jacking point plastic? covers on a Merc 190E It looks as though they just pull off/out but I don't want to do any damage by doing it wrong ie: should I use a screw driver to lever them out/off? I have ordinary steel wheels on this Merc which...
