For those who are not from the UK, could you answer this:
How many points does one have on his/her license?
On which occasions can you lose them and how many are normal in these cases?

sorry, haven't been deliberately ignoring the questions in this thread - mostly i didnt know the answers as i dont have a uk licence.

@Sangreal: yes, this occurred in the UK.

@Shumatsu Samurai: 12 points and you lose yr licence. so the driver has lost half. apparently, points lost by reckless or dangerous driving are lost from yr licence for 4 years. the maximum he could have lost would have been 9 (max of 11 lost if crash caused by drugs, alcohol, or refusal to test for same). what you'd have to do to lose 9 points, given this was 'only' a 6 point offence doesn't really bear thinking about.

police investigation found that the defective tyres - the front pair and rear nearside - were not to blame for the accident. "Tyre tread is there to displace liquid debris from the road to give a better grip. The examination has found there was no liquid there - it was black ice," she said.

It was just an unfortunate accident. He hit black ice, spun out of control and crashed. Don't see why he should spend the rest of his life in jail, get fucked up the ass by Hitler in hell, for something that was nature's fault.

Yeah. Bad luck and bad timing seems to the main part of this.
