    There is apparently a trick that taxi drivers like to pull. It's risky though. Basically, you opt to contest the decision, but on the day, you admit the charge. This will result in a slightly larger fine, but apparently there is a disconnect between the court clerk and the points system.

    Your points may get lost in the system between the clerk and the points database, and never be applied to your licence.

    Not sure how true this is, and I only heard about it after I got my points. The question is, do you feel lucky??
    Did you get more than 2? NCD shouldn't be effected if not more than 2 penalty points.

    Ok,hope you search around cos I'm sure 2 points does not effect the policy. Don't know about you, I used to stick to 1 company for donkey's years,then just for the crack,I went to a broker and looked at the options,and there is a big difference.Think about it...
