I agree that this really is a piss take, although as an 18yr old youth who like many thought I was invincible on my 350Lc with micron pipes , I amassed 15 points and kept my licence, I used the job excuse ( not wholly true ) but then never got another point on my licence to this day.
On the flip side to that 10 years ago I got took out by a white van man on my 600 he had 16 points on his licence for jumping red lights and speeding and quite clearly he didn't learn as he jumped a red light in front of me causing the accident. When he went to court he did the usual keep licence for work argument but got banned for 2 weeks and got 6 points so he could take the ban as holiday from work and kept all the points ( 22 after)
