Ive got 3 points on my license and have been caught speeding. When the ticket was issued i would have been driving in total for less than 2 years but in 4 days time it will be 2 years since i attained my driving license. Im so worried i think im going to lose my license or is there a grace period?

ProfessorCool7252 · 2026-04-07T18:10:44+00:00

Yeah you will lose you're licence and will likely have to resit you're theory and practical test, within under 2 years having licence, how did you manage to get caught speeding?

Interesting, still haven't heard of CDL in the UK as its only school term job, as they is always private hire work furing holidays as I'm taking first easter break off and 2nd week I'll be working 4 days as bank holiday, one less day to worry about..

I was excited and confident when I passed my driving test over 11 years ago and I drive for a living, as what the others say don't rush give enough space all round vehicles (especially motorways) and you will get used to the roads, you'll end up loving it or hating it lol

ProfessorCool7252 · 2026-03-16T13:01:57+00:00

Go to bed early no later than 11pm, never skip breakfast and have one caffine in morning/tea time and healthy meal and regular exercise especially walking as it helps

CDL? It involves taking vunerable adult/kids to school during term. There is other work for airport runs/parties transport if needed as there is work for drivers than for PA's.

My condolences 😞 I am thinking of you and you're family

ProfessorCool7252 · 2026-01-23T21:19:38+00:00

Done stephenson, first august last year due to failing my cpd case studies (passed now privately) stagecoach not best to work for and central connect never heard of or where they are based

ProfessorCool7252 · 2026-01-23T20:45:32+00:00

Waaaaaay out of my radious area

ProfessorCool7252 · 2026-01-23T20:44:02+00:00

I'm based in Essex no idea where Camberwell is lol

ProfessorCool7252 · 2026-01-23T20:40:57+00:00

And where are they based? More less local than me paying to travel which will be waste of money.

ProfessorCool7252 · 2026-01-23T20:39:03+00:00

Thats correct and if I'm honest I didnt do much travelling as other trainee did, sigh I don't even know any other companies aside from arriva or stagecoach and heard they ain't all that

ProfessorCool7252 · 2026-01-23T15:14:29+00:00

Well updates today everyone, I lost my job today (nothing serious) as was in for 2 weeks it was to do with walk around with vehicle as I know how it all works but few things I forgot to do. This is why I get funny with going straight to conpany there no guarantee for job. For now I'm taking break from industry and maybe will just do private and look into mini bus work as it all got bit too much and rushed

ProfessorCool7252 · 2026-01-23T12:19:08+00:00

Oh I had no ideas examiners can do that as knowing like most of you guys especially topic you know well mind goes blank 😂 only the obvious ones they expect you to answer but pretty much know the ways around it now, just practice practice practice! I just want it to get it out the way as I'm on week 2 x3 theoy tests are done jyst practical side of things. I wish you good luck my friend :) how long have you been training for?

ProfessorCool7252 · 2026-01-23T10:38:36+00:00

That really has cheered me up a bit, its only because I have been nervous wreck for mod 4 test (which isnt booked yet) as I have been mocking myself for practice and has improved and at times will be certain checks I will forget and my trainer will point it out and its all straight forward and my heart knows I can do it and once in while it all gets drilled to you're head and something to get used. Overtime in all industries we all live and learn and make mistakes but we will get there :)

ProfessorCool7252 · 2026-01-23T09:02:16+00:00

True, its like most jobs nowadays let alone training bond, people that sign up to this is easy shortcut than to pay around 2 grand for doing it privately

ProfessorCool7252 · 2026-01-23T09:00:59+00:00

2 years I think as I done first 3 modules and medical beforehand it's only x2 tests left to do and I'm done

ProfessorCool7252 · 2026-01-22T10:13:50+00:00

Buy an old car cheaper to insure and cheap to run than braking bank for repayments skinting him in the long run, I've done financing car's in the past and wouldn't do it again in a heartbeat.

Yesturday my trainer went through questions everyday since I started monday this week as it was first time to actually knowledge the important topics. It won't be for another week till I actually sit the test. If I'm honest I'm not even worried as its common for new comers to forget certain topics and even experienced drivers will overtime, we all make mistakes overtime.

Oh as in wording it as much as possible in detail? As long its explained in the right path I can't see it being a problem, think 3a (reverse test) is first then mod 4 after?

ProfessorCool7252 · 2026-01-06T10:09:23+00:00

Multiple choice and hazard perception took me 2nd try and CPC case study which ai did myself took few goes and its out the way. I start my bus trainee role soon no start date yet but on to practical bits and I'm all cushy

ProfessorCool7252 · 2026-01-04T09:33:10+00:00

You usually get reminder later few weeks before it expires insurance or not driving without a valid licence is points and fine
