Does 12 points = a ban?

[jez-m]

Hello all

I just want to clarify - does 12 points equal a ban, or do you have to go over 12 points to get a ban?

By that I mean, if you had 9 points and gained another 3, would you automatically get a ban? Or would you then be on the absolute threshold where just 1 more point would result in a ban?

Thanks.

Yep, you would.

You would have to provide very special reasons why you could not be banned

The court guidelines are that an automatic disqualification should be imposed if an offender accumulates 12 or more points in any three year period.

Great, thanks. Thought that was the case. Only 12 points to go then!

Playing the game - I have always seen this as "three lives and out".

I've had 12 points on my licence and kept it. It's not automatic but as stated you need a good reason to keep your licence, they added 'no disqualification, exceptional hardship' to it when I had the full set.
