How does the points system work there in France, Dave? Is it the same sort of principal as the UK?
Yep, same principle, except that the points are subtracted rather than added !
So you start with 12 points and some of them get taken away every time you're naughty over a certain threshold of... naughtiness.
The only exception is for probationers - i.e. those who have only just passed their test. They get 6 points to start with and a couple of points are added every year if they're not naughty, until they are up to the same 12 points that all the other non-naughty people get.
Hope that makes some kind of sense...
If you are so naughty that you reach ZERO, you are dragged into the street, pelted with rotten garlic and stale camembert, and eventually guillotined - if you've been good.
