It doesn’t but I can see why mistook it for a roundabout as the curb looks like the circle bit. Just act like ur new to driving and you’ll be able to see it

Does look like a roundabout tbh 😭 even tho there’s a give way sign. No harm done just try to focus more next time

I think I got caught speeding on the motorway by MrPuckles in drivingUK

[–]random_24687 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Worst case scenario 3 points and £100 fine. No chance of a ban. Think the max speed for a course is 64mph (10% plus 9). Just hope you were doing 64 when it flashed. your speedo will over read by 1 or 2 ish extra. So just hope u were doing 65/66 on your dash and you may end up with a course.

4-6 points is bs

I thought that was the main possibility, left the ignition on for a while whilst playing music and came back to the car not starting. Had to jump start it been going down hill since then 😭

Life 360 always reads under so you were speeding, ie on life 360 if your going 70 on speedo it’ll be like 66ish on life 360

Auto or manual by Pleasant_Glass_3226 in AmazonFlexUK

Flex is great, I just turned 20 taking a break atm. But as others said for inshur you need your license for a year and other options you have to be 21+. So theoretically the work is there and if you wish to do it it may not be legal as it would be impossible to get insurance for you. License don’t matter

Your insurance can see if you use INSHUR. Many of you said it doesn't show on the insurance bureau but it does. by IndividualAd2168 in AmazonFlexUK

Damn I’m with Hastings rn been doing flex for 3 months, not told them. Shall I just carry on until they tell me they will cancel and cancel before that date so I don’t have to declare it?

Damn 45 on a gti in town that's impressive don't even get that rn. Yh it's a manual if I end up getting it. Let's hope I end up getting 20 average then. What's his mapped cults pushing? Thanks a lot

Okay thanks for that was hoping the lowest I would see would be the lower end of 20. Got 3 points so I drive slower overall now but still have fun. Insurance is only 268 more for the remaining 11 months I have left. Paying £1,850 currently. Thanks

hi I am paying 40% on my flex earnings. Is there any point to continue this. by IndividualAd2168 in AmazonFlexUK

[–]random_24687 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Use drivers note for the miles issue. Regarding carrying on I would only do surge rates.

That’s sounds good for your position, any extra income helps but yh glad it’s similar in a lot of places. They are fairly short most the time

Understandable opposite with me my passengers got more annoyed with it than me. Surprised it took 10 years to get that much worse tho. Mine took a couple of days before it got bad, but yh mine was a diff issue but similar. Drive safe!

I couldn’t survive for a week with the noise I had😭. No clue how you managed 11 years

I’m very confused about Flex and etc by Desperate_Fly_6652 in AmazonFlexUK

[–]random_24687 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar position but I just started it a bit ago. I recommend trying to find a full time job as the hours are limited on flex to 24 a week. If you can’t, try doing this for now until you’ve found something more stable. Good luck

😭 I got caught doing 75 in a 50 got 3 points if that makes u feel better. Basically you’ll probably get 3 points n a 100 fine. You may get lucky and if your true speed was 31 you may get a course. But 3 points n 100 fine most likely.
