Drivers are normally banned when they hit 12 points, but a legal loophole in England means they could be let off the hook if they convince a magistrate or judge that they would face “exceptional hardship” otherwise.

Analysis by the JPIMedia Data Unit has revealed there are 53 dangerous drivers with 12 or more points on Burnley, Pendle and Clitheroe’s roads.
The worst offender has clocked up a whopping 48 points to their name.

Here is a ranking of the postcode districts in Burnley, Pendle and Clitheroe that are home to the most dangerous drivers. Photos are for illustrative purposes only.
