Heard this on one Radio 5 programme where a lady said that this had happened to her and her husband: she took the points as she was only an occasional driver, whereas her husband was a sales rep - with him paying the fine.

I obviously get why folk do it - but in said example above....the offence was HIS, the punishment should have been made to be HIS too....yes, so that would have made life difficult for the family all round....so maybe he'd then think twice in the future and therefore not risk more points to risk his licence altogether!!!!  Personally, I'd make the person agreeing to take the points as guilty as the person trying to offload them. Actions have consequences - it's time folk realised it and stopped trying to get out of taking responsibility for their actions!!!
