I could be wrong, but I think it's 12 points, accumulated in a three year period, from that date of the first endorsable offence.

Crime does pay. Will ITV be offering the same or better deal to the cyclist she hit? Some how I don't think so.

Wow, I am really interested as to where this apparent myth about the limit being 12 has come from. Do the points just keep on adding up because I thought you would have a driving ban at 12 points? Or do you get a ban, get a license again, and then add another 12 ontop of that? And then keep on going up to 48 or something?
Obviously any points on your license is bad but how can you manage to get 42 and keep driving?

If the court can be persuaded that being banned would cause excessive hardship.

Awwwwww, didums. If you can manage to accumulate 42 points then I think excessive hardship should be put up with. Even if you are disabled and rely on a car to get about, there is no excuse for driving that badly.
If you rely on the car for work, then tough. Any employer who see's 42 points on the record will not employ you. Even if the job doesnt involve driving.
Public transport is there for a reason. 42 points in my book is deemed as a sure hazard to other road users.

Most of those were probably people who would've lost their job if they lost their licence. When someone has a family/children to support the court has to consider that, although to be quite frank, 42 points is a bit ridiculous, and they should've changed their driving habits before they got to 12 points. Sometimes I wonder how they manage to pay the insurance with 42 points, but maybe it's a company vehicle, or they're just very well off. Occasionally you get a premiership footballer (who can well afford to pay a chauffeur) trying to hang onto their licence after a string of convictions. Ahhhh, yes, here's one.

I was wrong, the proper term isn't 'excessive hardship', it appears to be 'exceptional hardship'.
Here's one about a football manager, he couldn't use a chauffeur because he needed to keep his telephone conversations private.

But you hate the Welsh.
Two reasons.....
Firstly not all points are for dangerous driving, you can get ints for failing to identify the driver or some other offences, secondly the Judge has the authority not to ban if the ban would cause "undue hardship"

No fee according to Lorainne. She had her solicitor with her again. Her parents must be very rich. Still no admission that she was wrong to not stop or report it.
Loved that one. The courts effectively saying it was OK for him to drive while on the phone !
She's 22, much too old for him (alledgedly
)
