      It’s a kind of ridiculous system though because you somewhat arbitrarily have 12 points on your licence, which is just a weird number for them to have chosen, and penalty points only stay on your licence for 18 months. So you could be like this idiot and drive while using your phone and you probably won’t be caught often enough for you to actually lose your licence.

      So habitual offenders get away with it as long as they’re not too egregious.
