12 is the max, although so called professional drivers have been known to drive with more, I knew i parceline driver with 14, he kept his license as he was the only breadwinner in the house, keeps the family off benefits I suppose..
Would'nt expect this is the norm, 9 points & above time to take it easy..

generally accepted as 12 and you are banned (unless you have passed in the last x months in which case its 6 - dunno the exact details?)
oh, and if you are David Beckham you can carry on driving with 12 points because the press made you speed

A mate of mine still had his licence with 18 points on it as he was a market trader so they let him keep his licence.
His 18 points were:
4 x bald tyres @ 3 points each = 12
Driving without MOT = 3 points
Driving without insurance = 3 points
The van was a deathtrap and they should have flung the book at him. I'm pretty sure he was signing on at the time as well.

It's 6 points within 2 years of passing your test. Then you loose your license and have to take the whole lot again- theory, hazard perception etc. Plus it's an extended practical test.

i would question this of the local police. are you sure the policeman wasnt a rookie/probationer who has applied the RTA wrongly.

yes it is 3 points per tyre but when going to court they only take into account the highest points awarded at one time, so that would only account for 3 points, i got done for speeding and two bald tyres whilst i had 9 points, after going to court the first time i went through a red light, took me to a total of 21, like i said, i drove like a **** 10-15 years ago

Notorious...your mate has got the allocation of penalty points wrong....
No MOT is a non-endorsable offence, and he could not have got 3 points for it.
No insurance is of course an endorsable offence, carried between 6 and 8 points, so he could not have got only 3 points for it.
