£60 fine, three penalty points on my license, and a lesson in not speeding in a residential area, a hundred and fifty sodding yards from my driveway.

wow how does the point system work? Sounds quite interesting actually. We should have something like that in the states! Like when you reach a certain level of points, you have to take some sort of driving class to prove that you're still capable of driving....

12 points max. If you get 12, you lose your license.
If you get 6 in your first 3(?) years after passing your test, you also lose your license.
Speeding is worth 3, up to 12 points for some things.

I'll look for a link.

See here

Disqualifications, convictions and acceptance of fixed penalties payments in respect of driving offences are notified to DVLA by the courts. The details are entered on to the driver's record and the licence. In addition to paying a fine/fixed penalty the drivers licence will be endorsed with a penalty ranging from 3-11 points or a period of disqualification will be imposed, depending on the seriousness of the offence. Any driver who incurs 12 or more penalty points within a 3-year period faces automatic disqualification under the under "totting -up" system. Information on a driver's entitlement and endorsements are sent to courts and police on request.

This Act will affect you if you passed your first GB driving test after 1 June 1997 when it came into force. If the number of valid penalty points shown on your driving licence total 6 or more during the two year probationary period immediately following your first driving test, your full driving licence will be revoked by DVLA until such time as you pass a further driving test.
