The other day while chatting, a friend mentioned his C1 license got 6 points deducted at once. With the total being just 12 points, that's half gone in one go – sounds like a real headache. He said even though his license wasn't suspended, he had to attend a traffic safety course for two or three days and might also face fines. After checking his record, the insurance company raised his premium a bit due to the damaged driving credit. Now he drives on pins and needles, terrified of another violation that could max out the 12 points and force him to retake the written and road tests – way more exhausting. It's a good reminder for all of us to drive by the book: no speeding, no illegal parking. Safety first! Protecting those points saves hassle and money, not to mention keeping the roads safe – that's what really matters.
