...and it's not like each of the points given couldn't have acted like a warning to start driving more carefully as his job may be at risk.

No you're right, we should all take great delight in his misfortune as its self-inflicted after all, hope there's worse to come for him.

The real victims are any dependants.
Of course, the consequences are of his own making. A loss of income for a potential family, is still nothing to gloat about.

To give credit where it's due, I remember the mighty Clarkson flagging this one up three or four years ago, along the lines of 'You know how BMW has always been the sure sign of a twat? Well it seems things have changed, and now it's the Audi that has become the nobber's vehicle of choice.'
No, not great delight. But presumably he got a number of points over a period, not all one go. Each time he thinks he'll continue to drive badly and put other people at risk. When at 9 points and his job us at risk he still thought that he could drive badly and it'll be ok, the punishment was inevitable. Loss of license. Potential loss of job. I am not delighted by it. But at relieved he's no longer in a car. His lack of job is entirely his doing and if a consequence of driving badly. Tough.

We have two Audi drivers at work. One (older) drives like a (i'm being charitable) twonk. The other, a young whipper-snapper, drives like the safest person being safe I've ever seen!

We don't tend to notice the ones driving safely. I often think it would be fun to get a camera and start a youtube channel lauding drivers for driving safely and passing courteously to restore the balance.

The one point I was making was that we shouldn't take delight at someone losing their job, I agree he's only got himself to blame but laughing at what is a serious situation the idiot has got himself into isn't very f#cking funny, but at the end of it though this only only the internet so who gives a shit.
Fair enough. I am very happy he's not in a car anymore. I'm also happy that the consequences of which he ignored before are now severe enough he may be more careful in future.

Whereas you look left, they fall right?
It's a "they think, you think, you don't know"
type of Kansas City hustle
where you take your time,
wait your turn,
and hang them up, and out to dry...
Now the table's turned, the lessons learned,
you gotta earn yourself some trouble...
Revenge like this: never sweet!
You've got yourself a long ride home...
Sort of relevant to this thread, almost

More a verbal thing than written, but I'll give it a go.
Fred told Bob that Audi are buying out Fiat, and merging some of the more popular models, including merging the names. Bob said "Audi Uno?", and Fred told him he'd seen it on the news.
