The government is thinking about adding 1 point on to your license for car drivers and 2 points for professional drivers. This is a great idea but it would be better to reward the better drivers with a clean record with the extra points.
Professional drivers need a higher point level because they are driving a lot longer hours.
If you have a clean record for five or ten years or in some cases a lot longer you should have a higher level of points for doing the right thing. If you have lost points for speeding or some other crime why are you getting rewards with more points, is this so you can speed a bit more before you lose your license.

Extra points would be no good to me as I have never lost a point. I've been driving cars and riding motorcycles since 1966. Even cheaper licences wouldn't help me as I'm a pensioner and get free licence and registration. Perhaps some other method of reward could be introduced. If you get booked you probably deserved it unless it was by one of those faulty robots that seem to infest our roads and highways.
