42 years driving, had 9 points once all for speeding on motorways, all accumulated in 1 year but that was just over 10 years ago, 0 bans, 1 accident in very heavy snow on the M56 slip road to M53 about 15 years ago.
Not a bad record in my opinion

17 years driving.
2 x 3 points for 40 in 30 zones. Once when going up a hill using a more powerful car that we'd hired. The other when taking mum-in-law to hospital, a bit late for an apt. Both many years ago.
No accidents apart from someone bumping us from behind at a mini-roundabout when we'd been waiting there for 10s already.
Oh, and a speeding ticket with on-the-spot fine from the Guardia Civil in southern Spain after not noticing a sudden drop to 60kmh from 90kmh - ie 90 sign followed by 60 sign 200m later. About 8 years ago.

1 write off: my fiat 126 which i spun hit a hedge and rolled over twice. it was very soon after passing my test when the first winter came and was totally due to speed
(in a fiat 126)
6 points many years later. 2x 3 sp70. caught doing 93 and 95. both on the same day by the same copper on the same bridge with the same camera. made me slow down and was just karma as me and a mate used to regularly max out his 3.0 z3 and my v6 mondeo on the various motorways around here.
i agree that a camera detector is becoming a piece of kit im considering there are too many roads now that change speed quickly and have been restricted etc that if you dont know an area you are likely to miss. having a little warning thing that has the speed changes programmed in via GPS and detects stuff would be helpful.
