easy question (points)

[adam2b]

'A freind of mine' has over the last 2 years accumulated 9 points (3 at a time) and has just picked up another gatso worth another 3 points, can he accumulate 12 points without losing his licence? or is he pretty well certain of a months ban?

[Plotloss]

Depends, if he can show that losing his license would have serious connotations to his and others income the bench can allow more than 12 points.

If he cant then its a totting up ban.

[Dwight VanDriver]

Where a person is convicted of an offence and the penalty points to be taken into account on that occasion NUMBER TWELVE OR POINTS, a Court must order person to be disqualified, unless having regards to all the circumstances that there are grounds for mitigating the normal consequences of the conviction and thinks fit to order a shorter period of disqualification or none at all.
