Did someone tell you that points make prizes?

The idea of this game is to NOT collect points or bans, rather than racking up as many of each as possible.

Apart from anything else, what will it do to your insurance to get banned repeatedly whether in one good hit or via totting up?

First ban under totting up - 6 months, then licence comes back clean

2nd ban after totting up another 12 points - year ban

3rd ban after totting up another 12 - 2 year ban

Do it a 4th and its revoked/have to retake test?

I ask this because ive just had a debate with a police officer about it who seemed to have nothing better to do than to want to play question time with me whilst i was on my way home, i was pulled for ' wandering under and over the speed limit by a few mph ' how petty? She told me if i get any more points i will have to go back to court for a decision as im already on 6 and that is the maximum you can have within first 2 years of getting a licence back? Ive had it back just over a year.

Im really confused now.
