thats well unlucky to be caught that many times in recent times... if youve only been driving for 2 years then max is 6 points otherwise its 12 but there are ways around it, I know a couple of friends still driving around with 15 points

You can have more than 12 points on your licence, it all depends when you got them!
Points stay on your licence for 4 years, but for totting up purposes (eg 12 points and you're out), they only count for 3 years.

if you need your car for work then you may be allowed to keep your license. I'm on 11 at the mo so I'm walking a tightrope for another 3 years...

ive also got 9 mate. little trick here what you can try is sending your licence away to change of address ,say if you live in your own house change the addy back to your mums this worked for me and i lost 6 points by doing this, the only thing was i moved in to a house from my mums
i still take it as i have 9 just in case but your insurance dont need to know because it isnt on your copy and thats all they ask for.
they prob have a database with all my points on but i dunno, i have 3 points on my licence now . so may be worth ago for some of you theres nothing to lose
