would you do this for your DH?

[LittleGoldfish]

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.

my ex asked me to do this for him.
Because he is a selfish twat who can't take responsibility for his own actions.

Dont do it. He should accept the laws of the country he lives in. It is not showing your love for him, to help him do something dangerous that might hurt others (ie speeding).

I have only read the op but I bed there are loads of self righteous posts about can't do the time don't do the crime blah blah.

yes, I would do it. I'd take the points because

a) 3 points on an otherwise clean licence doesn't do anything insurance wise
b) my dh losing his licence WOULD affect our lives, he wouldn't be able to earn a living
c) I would prefer he didn't get any but it's ridiculously easy to get a notice for speeding. There are roads not marked with limits, there are limit changes, ec etc, you really don't have to be a hardened crim to get 9 points imo

I BET not I bed

You say it so much better than me WWW

and you WON'T Fail a CRB for 3 points, that's entirely disingenuous imo

It's very very easy to get a speeding ticket. yes it's wrong to drive too fast. But it's very easy to accidentally do it.

www, thats what I thought broadly when I was put in the situation of the OP. However, what I failed to take into account was my ex's ever increasing arrognce and tendency to assume that he is above the law.

this man does not need a loving wife to take the points for him, he needs a kick in the pants.

9 points in 3 years is a piece of piss if you do any amount of driving. Without a tomtom or something that tells you when there's a camera.

I got caught teice in TWO months for speeding at midnight on the M5 where the limit had been reduced due to roadworks (I was doing 60) - no other traffic around = and another time again v late at night doing something liek 40 in a 30, again middle of the night. I was sober, nobody around, all it did was increase revenue for Devon cc and increase revenue for my insurace co and c) piss me off. It wasn't the crime of the century.

Don't do it! Ruin you potential career when the camra is checked. He will get over it, eventually!

erm I have had one speeding ticket in 20 years!

Well arrogance and assuming you're above the law are one thing, taking 3 points for your dh when it'll mightily affect your lives if you don't is another imo. Mind you I asked dh (then dp) to take my second set and he wouldn't and I've never forgiven him so I declare An Interest

I can see (sort of) how it would be easy to rack up, say six points. But at that point, unless you are rather arrogant or really not in control of your driving, you make darned sure that you heed the limits, surely? Even if they do seem unnecessary sometimes? It's quite possible to stay within the limits - it just means that you have to drive like a learner, and people don't like doing that because they feel foolish.

True you have a point about 'if everyone did what speed they thought appropriate' but I just don't believe MOST cameras are there to stop people speeding or to stop accidents, they're simply revenue producers, no?

what I mean is, that I encouraged him to be unstable and generally behave like a prat, by supporting him when he came to me with an immature sob story like this. Not just in this but other things (not illegal), my support just allowed him to carry on behaving like an irresponsible teenager.
