I like and agree with all these except number 3 and number 8 need some clarification.

3 What is overtaking cyclists in a dangerous manner?
8 Is a passenger transport vehicle a bus or coach, or will other vehicles get pulled into that?

Other than that, bring them into the UK. The only one I would add to that is that if you do not move to the inside lane after overtaking on a motorway, you should be tattooed on your forehead with "Middle Laner Tosspot"

When they first introduced points in 2007 there was no way of regaining them when lost:laughing::doh:

3= not leaning 1,5m clear of them when passing
8= anything where you are employed to drive it. They are classed as 'professional ' drivers & have far lower limits , basically nothing.
If you are not employed & paid to drive it then ity doesn't affect you.
