if you have 12 points on you'r driving license (all sp 30-s)would you be banned from driving?

Answer 1

you are allowed 12 to be on it,so if you commit another offence which takes it over 12 well then it is to the gallows

Answer 2

Normally, as it indicates a type of driver who doesn't learn from his mistakes. You will be required to appear in court because that is the rule when you are a candidate for disqualification and you could try arguing reasons of special hardship before the court. I know that benches in rural areas where people just can't cope without wheels are more inclined to use their discretion than courts in areas with plenty of public transport facilities. You don't say over what period you accumulated these points - that might have some effect upon the reasoning of the magistrate(s). It is quite possible to be banned for only two weeks as a rap on the knuckles. But yes, in principle you do deserve to be banned and on no account should drive yourself to court. It is quite common for the police to keep an eye on people who have been banned in case they are seen driving off after being disqualified, in which case they can arrest them for driving while disqualified.

Answer 3

unless you can prove hardship (eg MUST have a car for work) then yes 12 points = a ban. personally i think it should be 6 months

Answer 4

not necessarily. By the law you should be banned but the police the way they are you can pay them £2,000 (I think that much) if speeding offences ofcourse & not be banned. The fuzz call it letting off while I like to call it bribary.

Answer 5

Yes however if ou only recently passed your driving test they take it way and make you sit it again if you get 6 points.

Answer 6

Yes.

Answer 7

Yes!

Answer 8

it is highly likely unless you can show the court a very very good reason not to ban you

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

I should hope so. Otherwise such a driver is a danger to other road users.
