    Probably because he calculated that the bits he was adding on to what you were already on, might have added up to 90. Then his math might have been shite. Then there might have been other tickets coming through, that have caught up to the total...

    my understanding of how it works is...

    lets say you have 150 demerit points, a cop pulls you over and realises you are over. he takes your licence.
    3 months later you get your licence back, minus the OLDEST 100 demerit points. The balance remain on your licence for a period of 2 years from when you received them.
    so essentially you are fucked.
    Although, a friend of mine got out of this in his car, he knew he had accrued about 190 demerits. He had just moved, and didnt leave a forwarding address. so when the guy came round to pick up his licence, whoops, dont know where he lives. So he stayed out of trouble, not getting pulled over or arrested for a couple years, next time he gets pulled over, 2 years has passed, and most of his demerits had lapsed, and the cop said nope, you only have 30 demerits recorded against you, have a nice day, and he carried on
