“Totting-up” penalty points

If you build up 12 or more penalty points within a period of three (3)years, you’ll be liable to be disqualified under the “totting-up” system. This is shown on your licence as TT99.

Information on your driving entitlement and endorsements are sent to the courts and police on request.

There are limits to the amount of vehicles humour on speeding you can put on a page when the subject of speed, has so many view points, that we could debate it till the cows come home.

The one thing we cannot escape is that the greater the speed one hits an object, the greater the damage one does to the weaker of the two involved.

The tragedy is that when its a vehicle and a girl, the difference between life and death is such a small amount of speed!
