The RAC, which conducted the research using Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) data, is urging the Government to empower courts to require repeat and excessive speeding offenders to install devices that prevent future speeding. The DVLA figures show 4,154 drivers have reached the critical 12-point threshold without losing their licence, with some offenders carrying points for other serious violations like careless driving, drink-driving, and mobile phone use.
