The man is correct.
Used to work when they first came out. No longer due to the way the server stores the data.
Sorry Paulio

Yup the above is correct.

if they can read your tax disc over 4 lanes they can work out if you have changed lane, just do the speed limit, plonk yourself behind a truck is normally a good strategy

I just see it so many times, if i'm sitting there at 50mph say (There's a stretch near me on the M69 with 50mph Av. speed cameras) there's ALWAYS people sitting there at 60mph and you just look at them and think WTF are you trying to prove!?
you not thought about discrepencies in different mnfr's speedo accuracy?
if i stick to say exactly 50mph gps figure, you easily pass other traffic doing 5-10 mph slower, and they must think they're doing 50 as well.
you can hide yourself behind a truck so the cameras don't see you, then speed to the next camera and hope there's another truck to hide behind.

I thought you could drive on 12 points???
Or is it due to how quickly he racked the points up?
Or am i just wrong altogether

11 points = lucky
12 points = banned by totting up

Totting
Traditionally this was a system whereby consistently bad drivers would end up disqualified from driving. Should you accumulate 12 penalty points or more on your licence over any 3 year period then you can be disqualified from driving (usually for 6 months). People falling into this category are generally known as "totters". The ban is not mandatory, so it is possible to argue you should not be disqualified despite having 12 or more points. It can also sometimes be better to accept a short ban for an offence than have the points and be disqualified under the totting-up procedure. This can be a risky strategy and we do not recommend you try it without proper legal advice.
I see.
