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.

The points system has always ben manifestly unjust.
The legislative requirement that once charged under the traffic act the onus of proof is placed upon you as the defendant, because police officers never lie or misrepresent the facts!
I have not lost a point for over 20years, but the first time I was charged , I was innocent and could prove that I was, but the magistrate found me guilty because the other party was injured and would not get compensation, if I was not found guilty. An appeal was lodged and failed.
We have the best system that money can buy! The shame is that I do not have sufficient funds!
