My boyfriend was caught by the speed camera, he has already 9 points, so he asked me if i can take this ticket

Don't even think about it, You'll get 3 points for the speeding and also a minimum of 6 points and hefty fine for no insurance, your boyfriend is a spineless waste of blood and organs for even suggesting it.

For goodness sake let him take the bloody points and get a ban, he is bloody stupid to get caught so often. And you could be done for having no insurance. And the next time he is caught will you take the points again, and again and again until you have 9 points as well.

Bianca

Don't do it,you will regret it and might get found out .

Charlie R

its not worth it, he was speeding so he should take the rap for it.

it'll only affect you when later on down the line you come to buy your own insurance.

If he already has point from speeding (i am only assuming and appologise if i am wrong) then maybe he should have learnt his lesson.

My son was caught by a fixed speed camera on the A14 and as he was not sure that he was driving - he and a pal were en route on a 200 mile plus journey and were taking it in turns driving - he asked to see the photo. He was clearly identifiable in the photo.

If you admit to being the driver and the photo shows a male driver you are en route to BIG trouble, it is no longer just a routine motoring offence but at the very least the criminal offence of obstructing the course of justice. Which apart from the penalty - which would be considerably more than a speeding fine - you would get a Criminal record. (Want to pop over to Disney World Florida next year for your Hols? Forget it, USA forbid entry to America to anyone with a criminal record!)

Your boyfriend already has a bad driving record and has obviously not learnt a thing from his past offences, him getting a ban will be exactly what he deserves and while it may well be highly inconvenient it is better that than YOU risking getting a criminal record for him - particularly as for all you know your relationship could be history 6 months from now.

Don't be a fool.You are risking more points on YOUR licence if you do this plus a fine.

Your boyfriend is clearly a bad driver. If he cannot drive within the law then he shouldn't have a driving licence. You neither should nor can take the rap for that - you would both be breaking the law.

Just because he commits criminal offences doesn't mean you should go along with it. Perhaps a spell without a licence will show your boyfriend the error of his ways. Besides, if nothing else, having 3 penalty points on your licence would harm your prospects of getting decent insurance when you eventually have your own car.

madasauk

Frankly if he is stupid enough to speed when he already has 9 points he deserves to lose his licence. Idiots who speed hurt other people - why do you want to help him to dodge what is fairly coming to him?
In any case if you take the points and the camera shows its not you driving you will be in trouble. Also points for you mean higher insurance costs for you in the future.
Dont even think about doing this for him.

betty boop

Tell him to slow his A$$ down and he wouldn't have this problem. Do not take the ticket. He did the crime he does the time.

You need a new boy friend this one is sort of childish.

If you say that you committed the offence, it is likely that you will have to produce your documents to the police or courts. If they see that you are not on the insurance as a driver and you are claiming to be the one who is speeding, you will be given six points, a fine of up to Â£5000, (but usually around Â£250), and even a prison sentence if the courts want to impose it, for driving without insurance. You will also have a minimum of 3 points for the speeding offence and another fine, so you will both be on nine points. That means that neither of you can commit another offence or you will both be banned. It also means that when you insure your own car, it is unlikely that anyone will insure you, apart from the high risk insurers who charge a fortune, as you will have nine points.

Consider your actions carefully. If you get found out, it is fraud, and both you and your boyfriend could be sent to prison for doing something like that. When you go to prison, it is unlikely that your employer would keep your job open for you and when you come out, not many employers would take you on with a criminal record.

Hi tell him to get a grip..why would you wanna get points for somebody elses STUPIDITY.. If the Speed camera is of piture type his face will be in the picture if its only a laser speed cam whoever the car is registered to will get the points.. Why would you ever consider it,He is taking you for a mug by asking you in the first place (DISRESPECFULL)..is the other 9 points for speeding to.. JUST SAY NO and there is a tiny chance he might learn HOW TO DRIVE...Hope this helps although i think your boyfriend is the one that NEEDS help..Best Regards Steve

Ditch the selfish arrogant b@st@rd.

syd9831

Don't do it. He should have never even put you in a position to have to say no.

donmigeul

he should have not ran a red light.

he needs to walk for a while so he can appreciate having the privieage to drive.

beaney08

They can check that and if they do they can also give you points for driving without insurance as your not named on the policy to drive the car.
for driving without insurance they normally give you 6 points so if you take your partners you may end up with 9 points yourself, thats what you need to think about first....

The original Peter G

That's conspiracy. Do you both want to do prison time?

James F

Normal insurance covers any drivers with permission from the owner of the vehicle. Unless his insurance has a specific clause stating that you or other drivers are excluded it would be ok for you to drive the vehicle. Assuming he owns the car if someone else does would they say that you had permission? But most likely they aren't concerned about insurance they just want their money. Here the owner of the vehicle receives the ticket regardless of who was driving. In your case this would be perjury and could get you some stiffer fines than just a speeding ticket if you were caught. I wouldn't recommend doing this for several reasons but you are likely ok when it comes to insurance.

On another note I think I would tell him tough luck he should have just slowed down before I would be willing to jeapordize my ability to purchase insurance in the future. By accepting the ticket you will raise your future rates for auto insurance when you do purchase. Good luck to you.

Andy E

You can request a copy of the photo the camera has taken and from that you would be able to ascertain whether they can show who was driving the vehicle. You do not want to perjure yourself - you could potentially go to prison for it, and/or end up with a criminal record.

The long and short of it is that your boyfriend has been driving like a pillock. He may be able to trade the points for a speed-awareness course, but this will depend on the speed he was actually caught doing.

Assuming you took the ticket and assuming you got away with it, how would you feel if he continues to speed and ends up killing himself and others? Don't do it.

Michael H

I don't really know what the question is but the poilce will check licence, insurance and MOT ( if applicable )

You'll end up with a cirminal record.

I don't think much of your b/f putting you in that spot, he obviously cares more for his licence than he does for you. Really, it seems he does.

of course once you do this he will have a hold over you forever.

WelshLad

I wouldn't do it, it's his own fault for speeding.

scuppo

You wont be able to take the blame as the camera's take really good pics so you wouldnt get away with it, and whats more you will face charges for lying to the police. It really isnt worth it.

Ian C

Let him take responsibility for his own actions, like everyone one else.

mick2269

you should both be banned for life

Joanne

dont do it. if you have no insurance they can check. but if you want to insure a car within the next 3 years you will pay more because of the points. some speed cameras take a photo.

5000 2008

if you take the ticket then you have to pay 100$
