So going on your theory he shouldn’t have been done for doing 43 because the thirty limit should be flexible, like the totting-up.
I have not read anywhere in the thread this being stated or even hinted at by Rob
The other angle “in” is not working

I think what Rob was saying was, yes if you need your licence to work then sometimes it is ok to go over the points threshold, BUT if you are caught again for any offense then your licence should automatically be revoked.But, what others are saying is WHY allow to go over?
Surely the 1st set of points are the warning, the 2nd set are another warning, the 3rd set are a ‘are you taking the ■■■■’ warning and the 4th set are ‘right, [zb] numpty, no driving for 28 days’ warning.
based on 3 points per offenceSurely there’s enough warnings in place already, unless you’re being done on something like 3pts per bulb or something daft.
I’ve known a taxi driver (PSV) with 27 points and still driving, but after 12 points, any offence suffered HUGE fines, but then these were the defence to keep his licence - to earn enough to pay the fines…
Vicious circle and it should’ve been curtailed long before he got anywhere near 27, and there was a guy on the radio a few weeks / months back who had even more, 32 if I remember correctly.
Because not at all offences are 3 points like your simplistic example. 
The 14 points I got was from 1 ‘incident’, so using your simplistic example/rant, I never had any “warnings”.
I think you need to go away and learn about the multitude of possible scenarios that can lead to 12 or more points in one sitting before you come here ranting about the system which clearly you know very little about.

No re read the ■■■■■■■ post ■■■■■■■■■.
Call me a simpleton again, but next time face to face you .
If you got 14 points in 1 go, then you’re a .
and you probably deserved locking up, banning and generally humiliating in the streets.
I’ve got a clean licence, you got 14 points in 1 go, and you think you can call me a simpleton??

Banned anyway.
Bit like a priest today that got let of a ban being 4 times over the drink drive limit. The law is an ■■■.

Yep, could’ve easily killed someone, but that’s ok, because he wasn’t caught for any offence before - Not that he didn’t commit any, just wasn’t caught.

Maybe the judge was gay and liked the look of Rob■■?

Yes, because as someone else pointed out, most homophobes are actually closet puffs

Sticks and stones old chap, I enjoy the entertainment value of this forum. I also meet people with your attitude on a daily basis on the road and again I enjoy the entertainment.
Whilst I’m not advocating doing 43 mph in a 30 mph zone does it deserve the lorry driver losing his livelihood whilst a car driver would be merely inconvenienced for the same offence ?
He does after-all know that he’s got-to drive like a saint from now on if he wants to keep his license 
Personally I’d be more concerned about the muggers, rapists, child abusers and general scum of society who get let off by the courts because some do-gooder has stood-up for them

Reading the rest of your post actually you are.

Not at-all, I just don’t see why a lorry drivers punishment should so outweigh the punishment of a car driver for the same offence.
Surely, if you need your licence for work, you should be more careful…
