quick question.. is it possible i will get 3 points PER defective shock absober, or will i just get 3 points in total?
If convicted, it is theoretically possible for 3 points to be imposed per defect but, for offences deemed to have occurred on the same occasion, its likely to be the case that the total number of points imposed would be 3 (irrespective of conviction for multiple SA defects).
QUOTE (Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988)
28. Penalty points to be attributed to an offence.
(4) Where a person is convicted (whether on the same occasion or not) of two or more offences committed on the same occasion and involving obligatory endorsement, the total number of penalty points to be attributed to them is the number or highest number that would be attributed on a conviction of one of them (so that if the convictions are on different occasions the number of penalty points to be attributed to the offences on the later occasion or occasions shall be restricted accordingly).
(5) In a case where (apart from this subsection) subsection (4) above would apply to two or more offences, the court may if it thinks fit determine that that subsection shall not apply to the offences (or, where three or more offences are concerned, to any one or more of them).
