You should never hang anything from the mirror. My magic tree is trapped in the glove compartment. Eating chocolate in my car and putting the crumbs on my seats so that the chocolate gets ground in should be an instant 6 month ban. From everything.

No you silly boy. I trap the string of the magic tree in the catch of the glove compartment so it hangs outside.

He has done! 'Vexed' was an understatement!

I have NO penalty points thank you unthrottled!!

You have spoiled my serious discussion <sulks>

This is a bit of an old story to be honest, theres someone in Swindon i think with 42 points and still driving. I'd be curious to find out how aware his/her insurance company is regarding those points.

Bet they got most of those points because they weren't insured. IMHO sharia law would be good. No insurance, no licence= no hands, that would also go for all other low lifes.

The rule is disqualification after 12 points and that should apply to everyone. No bleeding heart excuses. Its proven when some like highlighted above have thirty plus points. Why. If they were given the opportunity to mend their ways at or after 12 points and not been banned, they have obviously taken the p*** and not taken on the generosity of the court in the first place. In my book one rule should apply to all. If I go over 12 points there is a possibility I might loose my job, have to rely on lifts, use public transport. This keeps my mind on what I am doing on the road and keeps me below 12 points. In fact at the moment I am lucky enough to have 0 points. Which means I don't have to rely on public transport etc.

Maybe if the law was applied in ALL cases, people might think twice before they drive like idiots. And the disabled thing. There are transport needs supplied by the health service and local authorites. There has been massive spending on access to public transport and taxi companies. So come on, no excuse there.

Or the guy who pleads losing his job will mean his 6 kids will lose a bread winner. So what. They should have thought of that as the points were creeping up. How much of a warning do you need.There is no rational excuse for anyone NOT to be disqualified after 12 points. The sooner this is tightened up the better.
