If you've had points on your driving licence for speeding, you're not alone. Driving too fast, using a mobile phone while driving and not obeying traffic signals are the three most common convictions dished out to motorists, research has found.
According to comparison site Confused.com, nearly three quarters of convicted motorists were pulled for speeding offences, resulting in a minimum of a £100 fine and three penalty points on their licence.
But the data also found that seven in 10 drivers managed to escape punishment for offences they had committed, which adds up to 29.1 million motorists missed by local councils.
