Stoo
Exactly the same just happened to my mate he got caught over a 5 year period and clocked up 12 points the last 3 being only 1 month before the 1st 3 came off.
In the end he went to court pleaded he needed his license for his job, the judge then said "you have had 3 previouse warning and attemts to slow down you choose not to so your banned for 6 months"
He lost his job and is now working in Holland with a company pedal iron.
I know each case is different and i depends if the judges missus has piped him off that morning but imo your looking at about the same unfortunatly
