Road safety experts said drivers with 12 or more points on their licence should 'at the very least' take an additional training course - and called for a review of how the law deals with driving convictions.
More than 10,000 motorists are still driving on the UK's roads when they would normally be banned - including one with 176 penalty points, figures have shown. The 26-year-old driver is among three male motorists who still hold a licence despite having more than 100 points. The woman with the most points is a 50-year-old with 96 - while 53 people have at least 30 points, according to figures from the Driver And Vehicle Licensing Agency .
'At the very least, those that accrue 12 or more points on their licence should be required to take an additional training course, even if they are allowed to keep their licence because a court has deemed that losing it would cause exceptional hardship.
