This will do for starters.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><!--more--><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Can you guess what it is? This learner driver has 51 of them. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s right, 51 points on her provisional driving licence, but legally she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still allowed behind the wheel. Outrageous, no? Surely she should be stripped of her <strong><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/book\/skip\">theory test<\/a><\/strong> certificate and made to rebook a theory test online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d think so, but no. DVLA info revealed that the female driver, based in Oxford, had racked up points for a number of offences including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Three instances of exceeding the speed limit in a 30 mph zone<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Failure to provide her driver\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s details on seven separate occasions<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Yet a court was said to have \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcexercised its discretion\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 by not banning her, despite the humungous number of points she had accumulated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Book Theory Test Today says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only our opinion, but this sends a terrible message to learner drivers. Offend as many times as you like on your provisional licence, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s OK. It would be interesting to see how far the courts \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcdiscretion\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 would carry if her speeding were to end in a vulnerable pedestrian getting killed.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Not alone<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Shockingly, the case of the Oxford learner driver racking up loads of licence points is not a standalone case. Motorists from Basildon, Essex and Liverpool each accumulated 42 points apiece. Both learners had managed to pass a driving theory test, but neither were stripped of their certificates and forced to rebook a theory test online despite a string of offences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The driver from Basildon, for instance, was clocked doing 109mph when stopped for speeding. In court, their lawyer said that their client would suffer \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcextreme hardship\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 if they were to lose their licence. Really? Extreme hardship. What if he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d killed someone? Does a person\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s income now supersede a person\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s life?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Disqualification <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Under normal circumstances, whatever normal is when it comes to driving rules, motorists who accumulate 12 points or more within a three-year period end up losing their licence. In the most serious cases, theory test certificates are voided, forcing offenders to rebook a <strong><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/book\/skip\">theory test online<\/a><\/strong> and pass the exam again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Disturbingly though, the DVLA figures from October 2015 show that 7,517 people were still allowed to take to Britain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s roads, regardless of the fact that they had 12 or more points. This represents a nine per cent increase on the figure seven months earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A DVLA spokesperson said: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153In the majority of these cases, magistrates may have decided to allow drivers to retain their entitlement to drive where it is considered that disqualification would cause exceptional hardship. However, the vast majority of drivers who get 12 penalty points are automatically disqualified.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Need to rebook a theory test online?
