My brother got booked by the police, and they gave him a choise: lose your licence for 3 months, or try to get by on one point for a full year.

I thought there was no way he could possibly last 12 months without being pulled over (he seems to get pulled over a lot), and told him as much.

But he decided he was smarter, and went for the 1 point for 1 year option.

He recently was booked for unsafe overtaking, not stopping for a stop sign and driving with 3 others in the car at 2:00am without P-Plates. In Australia, all of those are offences for a provisional driver. He's due in court in 3 weeks.

The funniest part is that the date on the ticket indicates that this happened less than 3 days after he handed in his choise to go for a whole year on one point!

So, anyone got stories about idiotic family members?

You can't pick your relatives, and you get in trouble if you hit them with a shovel.
