you get three points here as well at any speed 10% over the posted speed
(111K in a posted 100K zone). your license does the *Dead Parrot Sketch* at
12. (you can opt to take evening driving refresher courses which cost a
couple hundred Euro, which neutralize two or three points). You can also
receive three of the finest for blood alcohol of 0.05.

Finest what? Cuts? Do you live on the Isle of Man...? (Well, probably not

You can invalidate your insurance if you do not disclose any changes,

The original system involved a severity thing, with three points being the
maximum awarded.
There is probably someone, somewhere, that has received /less/ than the
maximum three points for a particular offence. Never heard of them, though.
I don't advocate bad driving, but let's have a thought experiment - take
someone who speeds through a red light, and then makes a turn before
noticing the blue flashing lights in his rear-view.
Well, lessee.. three points for the speeding, three for the lights, and
three for not noticing Mr. Copper (well, to be honest, he might let you off
with a very appropriate lecture; the cameras, however, won't). So let's call
that 9 points in one shot.
Assuming that you can still afford to drive, let it be known that one camera
flash will remove your license for at least a year. If you were riding a
bike at the time, then sell it - the /difference/ in your insurance for the
next year will likely cost more than the bike.
100mph+ or anything alcohol related is an instant 12 points and an instant
ban. Starts at one year minimum, runs to (I think) five years to /life/.
IIRC, any points you already have get transferred to your new replacement
license (fee payable, naturally).
Hate drink-driving, but also hate the arbitrary limits - having seen an 18
year old secretary cut paint around a door lock after half a pint, it's hard
to believe that certain heavier drinkers are significantly more dangerous
after 2 pints... (I exclude myself from this - my days of going to a country
pub and drinking a pint of ale are long gone, in this sort of political
climate [as are most of the pubs!]. I now count units so that I'm at zero
before even getting into my car the next morning, let alone on the same
day..)

I guess you're too stupid to understand the difference between a crime
which hurts others, and a victimless "crime" like the vast majority of
"speeding" is.
