I was talking to a guy form the RTA just then and he was explaining to me points on a license... Instead of saying "you have 2 points left" he was saying "you have 5 points and you don't want to hit 7 because that is when you loose your license" (Green P's = Max of 7 Points)...

So is this how the points system works, you start out on zero and loose your license when you accumulate your maximum?
