Sentencing council is doing a consultation about pcoj matters, drivers may be interested (speed trap/points) matters.
They are also making a guideline on this offence, a statistics bulletin is provided, it is worth a read.

Thanks - I don't see anything in the draft guidance that really identifies where lying on an S172 would lie? Presumably category 2 (as you have to name an innocent party?) for harm and category C for culpability (not a serious offence and not sophsiticated). Or does category 2 ironically become category 3 when the innocent party is yer missus taking points for you and no longer being innocent? That can't be right surely.

Most ‘points swapping’ cases likely to be in B2 or C2 of the draft guideline.
