you call to this company today and ask can they wait you 2-3 week.and try get point in next 2-3 week :smiley: :smiley:

Have I missed something? It says MAX as in maximum so you cant have more than 6, not no less than 6.

read it again it says MUST HAVE

5

I read that as ‘Must have no more than’. In so much as maximum is the most, if it said minimum then Id get what you mean.

I read it as

Must have max 6 points for minor offences

7

No point in applying for the job with no points as you MUST have at least 6 points…

8

NO YOU MUST HAVE AT MOST 6 POINTS.

Jesus Christ this is basic English people. Maximum-No more than. Minimum - No fewer than.

I really don’t see where the problem is. As a simple example: Must have MINIMUM Cat C (you need to have a Cat C licence, but Cat CE is also acceptable) Must have MAXIMUM Cat C (you can’t have this unless you ONLY have Cat C as Cat CE wouldn’t be acceptable)

Badly worded that be!!

Either way, I’m out, I don’t have six points :stuck_out_tongue:

Either way, I’m out, I don’t have six points :stuck_out_tongue:

likewise, I have none

Then you’d both be eligible if you had 7 point you wouldn’t.

This is so easy, I cant believe the confusion it’s causing, lets look at different scenarios.
Must have maximum of 6 points = you can have anywhere between 0 & 6 points
Must have 6 points = you must have exactly 6 points, no more no less
Must have minimum of 6 points = you can have anywhere between 6 & 12 points (not taking into account those with more than 12 but who still hold a licence)

these companies should be closed down…they hardly encourage safe driving do they :question: :smiling_imp:

I can’t believe there was ever any confusion either - if a speed limit sign said you must do a maximum of 30mph, how fast would they drive?
