The general rule is that if you build up more than 12 points on your driving licence within a three year period you will lose your licence. Of course there are loopholes and extreme things you can do to try to wriggle out of this should the situation occur but these tactics will always cost you money and the whole situation is quite unpleasant and best avoided if at all possible.
