Question

Is it compulsory or discretionary for the court to ban drivers with 12 penalty points.

Answer 1

Compulsory I'm afraid.

Answer 2

a ban is heading your way  

Answer 3

It is actually discretionary but there's no doubt you will be walking.  Courts take insurance offences very seriously, You'd need a very, very, VERY good reason for them not to disqualify you - claiming you wouldn't be able to do your job etc for instance won't wash.
