Yeah, fine I can understand, points seems dumb.
As a new rider I'm on a 2 year probation and so can only get 6 points before I'm screwed.
Should I really face a ban for two misdemeanour's? Is it that great a safety issue?
After riding through London for the first time this summer I was fine with the traffic, peds, junctions, all the stuff I wanted to be able to concentrate on, but was kinda freaked out by all the CCTV.
Very distracting for someone who is not used to that.
Just to add, I understand London faces unique challenges traffic wise, so I guess the CCTV is required, but I still think the crime needs to fit the punishment!
