Lose licence or good behaviour option???

[XRchic]

Hi everyone

What would you do?

If you had lost all your demerit points on your licence and you were given the following options, which would you choose?

Option 1: Lose your licence for 3 months (13 weeks). Do not drive (or risk it) for that length of time with the inconvenience, but you get all of your points back in one hit at the end of the 3 months.

OR

Option 2: Choose the "good behaviour" option. This enables you to keep 2 points for 12 months. If you lose those two points during the 12 months, you lose your licence for 6 months, and with no "good behaviour" option. You get all points back at the end of the 12 months.

Bear in mind that in SA, the tolerances are usually generous, 10% of speed limit plus 3kmh (so in 60 zone, tolerance is 69kmh) so it is quite hard to get a speeding fine of a single point. If you get done speeding here, you usually get a 3 pointer.

So, which one would you choose? Suffer for 3 months and get all the points back quick, or try and stick it out for 12 months on 2 points and risk losing licence for even longer???
