A quick definition of penalty point:

A penalty point is a punishment given to a driver for breaking traffic rules. These points are added to the driver's record, and if they get too many, their license may be taken away. It's like getting a bad grade in school for not following the rules.

A more thorough explanation:

A penalty point is a punishment given to a driver for breaking traffic rules. When a driver gets a penalty point, it is recorded on their driving record. If a driver gets too many penalty points, their license may be restricted, suspended, or even taken away.

For example, if a driver is caught speeding, they may get a penalty point on their driving record. If they continue to break traffic rules and accumulate too many penalty points, they may lose their license.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)

There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
