My DH has managed to get 9 points on his drivers license for speeding offences, I however in my 36 years have never managed any.

He asked me if I would have the next set of points put on my drivers license otherwise he will lose his license (in other words say it was me driving). I told him to f off and to learn how to stick to the speed limit- I can managed it so why can't he?

AIBU about this, he reckons 3 points on my license wont make much difference but I am in the process of having a CRB check done (applied to study nursing) and don't want any criminal offences although I know they don't take driving offences too seriously, but still.

He is in a major mood with me atm. AIBU about not wanting someone elses points on my license? especially as I haven't been the one speeding.

  1. Don't blame someone else for your own mistakes. You broke the law not your wife
    2)Don't use a tragedy as some kind "Aw, c'mon guys, what I did wasn't so bad, I didn't shoot 12 people"
  2. Don't bump 3 year old threads. It's weird.
    4)I don't care enough to do a 4th.

Could you kindly just talk to your wife rather than ressurecting ancient threads which if you actually bothered to read say NOT to do it.

He was a prat to keep speeding. Does he think it's OK to risk his own and other people's lives?
Now he wants you to lie for him, and risk the possibility of criminal charges if he is caught. He don't want much does he?
My ex insisted on mad speeding, even when I told him I would stop travelling in his car with him. We stopped at a services, I got out of the car, called a cab and went home on the train. That made him think, although of course his attitude towards me indicates why we ended up splitting.

perhaps it would be more worthwhile to garner responses on a new thread.. and not equate it with the Cumbria massacre?

A valid opinion? I have one for you...

actually no cause I might be kicked off mumsnet.

How about this.

You shouldn't be put in to a position of responsibilty that involves driving if you can't even figure out the speed limit.

3 points and a year's ban I'm afraid.

Bailiff, take him down.

Do you want to work for the Ambulance service so you can put on your flashing lights and go hell for leather on the roads?

I can't understand if it was such a dream job why you couldn't just stick to the speed limit (both times).

YOu don't need to compare your mistakes with anything.
Stop being so immature.

You sped, you got the points, you stuffed up, deal with it and stop whining like a baby.

Dunno about Lizzy but I would prefer you didn't save my life, let someone who can get me to hospital safely drive me.

Oh and MRS Southy, you are 100% right!

OK, very admirable sentiments.

I wonder how many car accidents/children getting run over caused by speeding drivers you'll get to heroically go to the rescue of?

Do you see the link here?

No, you don't need to compare it to anything. The fact is, you persistently drive above the speed limit, thinking that your superior driving skills and roads that look clear give you the right. You think that the fact that you are late and lost makes you somehow above the law (and possibly immortal). Maybe it would be fairer to compare you to other prats who did the same, then came across the unexpected and killed someone. That might be a better comparison.
(I carefully ride ponies down "quiet roads in Kent" and meet testosterone-fuelled Jeremy Clarkson wanabees like you on a regular basis. So no sympathy here).

So hang on, let me sure I've got this correct...

You have a speeding ticket, you ask THE WIFE to take the points, she refuses, you get a bit cross, and she directs you to Mumsnet to a thread which is 3 years old?

Have I got that right?
