Shocking Driving Statistics: Over 600 UK Drivers Hold Licenses with Excessive Penalty Points

A 26-year-old man in Flintshire, Wales, has been found to hold a valid driving license with an astonishing 229 penalty points. He is one of over 600 licensed drivers in the UK with more than 12 points, a threshold typically leading to a ban. Experts are calling for mandatory retraining for repeat offenders and greater transparency in the ban exemption process to ensure road safety. Current regulations allow drivers to retain their licenses if they demonstrate ‘exceptional hardship,’ raising questions about the system’s integrity and the need for better monitoring.
