Well perhaps someone made a mistake........

An ex mate of mine got caught doing 85mph in a 40mph limit........

Sure enough it went to court and was given a 7 day ban and six points on his license. (to be honest I thought that was a good result all things consider!)

My mate was pissed off to say the least at getting the points but was not concerned at all by the ban. Anyway his solictor smiled at my mate and said no problem they have made the usual common mistake as they are not allowed to give both. His license which had be endorsed there and then by the court was promptly sent back as fews days later to the CPS with a letter explaining their error, the license was returned with the points removed.

True story and not a hear say made up load of bollocks. They key thing was that he was given both for the SAME offence. Are you sure your were not given two seperate punishments for two seperate offences ? For example speeding and dangerous driving ?
