I think what the report actually showed was that 1 million drivers (approx) were on 6 points or more. Where the story has become confused is probably because some speeding offences can attract 6 points and so these drivers may only be one flash away from a ban be they on 6 or 9 points. The media even have problems understanding simple points like this and have concluded that the million are on 9 points. Imagine what their reporting is like on complex issues with lots of big numbers!

I have a 700 nitro express. It will be impossible to tell if it blew your head off as the remaining parts will be much too small to identify.

You need to ask yourself one question: why are you walking about in such dangerous times with such a small gun?
