Glenn, I totally understand your predicament and also got suspended for 3 months when I was 20. Back then you got 9 points over 1 year and had to get booked about 4 times unless you were a P plater to lose your right to ride or drive.
However, you're beginning to sound like you think that everybody who holds a gold licence doesn't get out much.
I have held one since they first came out and clock up at least 45,000 ks a year. Fortunately I have only been nabbed by 1 speed camera in the past 10 years and that was a non fixed one.
Don't get me wrong, I agree that the points system sucks and is getting worse all the time. - Losing 3 points for doing less than 10k over the limit is a joke when people who run red lights and stop signs etc get much the same penalty but are likely to cause much more grief.
Having a gold licence is not just the privelige of those who don't drive, it is a reward for people who do it sensibly.
