 10K of drivers with 12+penalty points on license - Zero
Loads of anger and outrage being cast around there, all these drivers being allowed to flout the law

However, buried in there is an explanation

Most points remain valid for three years from conviction, but stay on licences for four years, which is why so many drivers have a high number of points but are allowed to be on the roads.

I don't know why they added that into the stats, I know it's technically correct to do so. But it does confuse things to see how many have been given an exemption on 12 plus points that are all 'active'.

Mate reached 12 points but kept his licence with the use of an appeal by his employer and a good lawyer.
Then got another speeding so got banned I think for 3 or 6 months.
But after that his licence is then wiped clean so no points!
