This is now just a rhetorical question for me as I kissed mine goodbye yesterday.
And yes I know the easy answer is don't ride on the road, or just follow the rules, but thats easier said than done.

I'm in the same boat too, I have ridden and driven for 2 years with just 1 point left, and still have 1 year to go before I get any back.

Yeah I think your right Loafie, more track days to get the speed out of your system, I dont know about drags seems like alot of effort for a 10 second ride.

Whoa back there young lady my suggestion of locking you in the back of the bull wagon so we could all peg chicken necks at you was both constructive and amusing.

The times I've used that it has been true, I've been in the back of bum-f***-nowhere's-ville just bootling along, watching the road not the speedo. Sure it is no legal defense, but if you are polite and telling the truth and give no attitude, I find it works.

Don't you mean brutalised by chicken necks, I have not idea what you are talking about

could've tried the one where you admit that because you speed so much and are reckless,the faster you get home
the safer it would be for everyone.:)

Its pretty hard when commuting to keep to the speed limit. Find it much safer to run 10 or 20 km /hr faster than the traffic. Always looking at the guy ahead rather than worring about the guy behind.
Sorry to hear your misfortune.
Should always have safety for yourself and others first.
