Anton joined us today to discuss government plans to put qualified drivers off the road if they clock up six penalty points (as opposed to 12) in the first two years after they pass their test. Motorists who pass their test every year will:
- Have to display an 'R' (restricted) plate for two years after they pass the test.
- Be subject to a lower drink-driving limit of 20mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood, which comes into force from September.
- Be banned from driving for six months if they get six penalty points.
