15 points on licence and traffic commissioner

The court did not ban him as he needs his licence to do his job :unamused:

I just don’t…

Get it. The system say’s over 12 points and you’re out, finito, tilt, game over for a few months or what ever it is. How on earth can people continue to get away with not losing their licence?

You might as well say, there’s no totting up procedure, get as many points as you like, you won’t get banned…crack on.

I remember reading a newspaper article about a bloke who lived not far from me who had 57 points.

He was a national sales manager and needed his job to drive. Everytime he got points he went to court and got off with points without a ban because his wife didn’t work and they had kids so to ban him would put his family on the breadline.

Now I don’t doubt that they would have faced some hardships but obviously points just weren’t a deterrent.
