Sorry you did not understand the answer I provided to your earlier question. Your latest raises a couple of different points.
When a number of driving offences are committed at the same time the driver�s licence is endorsed with them all but points are only awarded for the most serious. In your son�s case this will be the No Insurance offence and the minimum number of points for this offence is six. If this occurs it will lead to automatic revocation of his full bike licence as he will have accumulated six points within two years of passing his first driving test. The court cannot award less than six points for this offence. Nor has it any discretion over the licence revocation as this is applied by the DVLA when they are notified of the imposition of the points.
As I said in my earlier answer, the only alternative is to ask the court exceptionally to impose a short disqualification for No Insurance instead of awarding points. As I also said, however, this request is unlikely to be successful. The idea of the new driver licence revocation arrangement is to encourage new drivers to stay clean in the first years of their driving, when, statistically, they are most likely to commit offences. Magistrates are not encouraged to allow this scheme to be circumvented in the way I have described.
Please let me know if you need any other info.

ANPR - Automatic Number Plate Recognition.
As I understand it, it was a relatively new technology a few years ago. Used to be a whole suite of equipment in the back of a transit sized van. Camera poking out the back or on the top reading number plates.
That could then link to the DVLA database, the MIB database to check for banned drivers, uninsured drivers etc. I believe it could read 3000 per hour.
I have seen the more recent version which can work in the back of a smaller vehicle, marked as a Police vehicle or not.
I've seen them in use on motorways and main roads.
It is proven technology and has helped the Police net many wanted criminals as the link between blatantly driving an untaxed or uninsured vehicle and other crime is fairly strong.
Hopefully when the MOT database is fully up and running that will also be checked.
It is expensive equipment but most Police forces have at least one ANPR equipped vehicle now. Of course the manpower to operate it requires an operator, and one or two patrols to stop the motorist further down the road.
Just my understanding of the system. Corrections and additions welcome.
