Driving on 9 Points

Yesterday, as I drove to the Gyro Council early in the morning, I mused on the fact that, in the 30 years I have been driving on Britain's roads, I have not once caused or even been involved in an accident, save for a couple of superficially damaging scrapes caused by women's inherent lack of spatial awareness.

My mental celebrations were short-lived; by 5pm I was driving home having been directly responsible for three deaths and a retardation (and a real pride-beating, I can tell you).
