French or English license, Martin ?
Mmm… Points seem to be something that are kept on file somewhere… and removed according to what the driver gets up to…

and it seems the Points don’t necessarily get deducted for months after the infraction…
Still on my English license. I applied for a French one in early October 2018, not heard a thing since. It needs renewing in December this year, so I shall apply again soon.
When I first came to France, I was puzzled by those enormous signs. Where they warnings about taking care to avoid motorcycles on roundabouts? I just couldn’t believe that they would make the presence of speed cameras so obvious. Hard to understand how anyone ever gets caught, though I have to admit to having been flashed a couple of times. But of course I have very good excuses!
