8 penalty points is an unusual award – it’s for more than phone driving. My thinking is that this is a driver without insurance, and that that is perhaps why he was so quiet and so wide-eyed.

    1. If no insurance as well, then no excuse x2. It’s like having a sticker on your car, saying “I’m guilty”!!! These drivers do not deserve the privilege of a licence. Another idiot off the road. Well done Mikey 👍👍👍

    2. Well with that fat wallet in his jeans pocket he'll be able to pay the fine, but he'll probably need an oyster card for public transport.

    3. I once reported a hit and run, with refusal to provide details after the driver was shown dashcam evidence of the hit, driver said ''it wasn't me driving'' – she was caught in front of her own house. Later, she tried to lie to the insurance saying I hit her (I wasn't even in the car). So that resulted in a police report on top of the insurance.

      She got done for leaving the scene of an accident, attempting insurance fraud, and bonus points because the footage clearly shown she was driving without a seatbelt… Priced out of the road in one go, because that's 19 points.

    4. You know what this is, right?
      It’s a GoPro 45, the most powerful head cam in the world. One still could blow your license clean off. So the question you have to ask yourself, is do I feel lucky?

    5. I wonder why we even have the phone ,driving law.It's just got much worse.Dodging idiots everywhere ,if it's not driving they walk right into to or expect everyone to move out of their way.
