Driving letter that shouldn’t be ignored if you receive this many points in three years

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

If you break the rules of the road, you could find an unpleasant letter in the mail, but it's important you don't ignore it.

Motorists who receive more than 12 or more penalty points on their licence within three years will receive a court summons in the post.

This letter will oblige the driver to attend court at a specified date where they will most likely be disqualified from driving for at least six months.

However, your driving disqualification could be even more severe, with the ban increasing to 12 months if it's the second disqualification the driver received in three years and a further ban of two years if it's the third disqualification in three years.
