A quick definition of point system:

Point System: A way of keeping track of how many traffic violations a person has committed. Each violation is given a certain number of points. If a person gets too many points within a year, they will not be allowed to drive anymore.

A more thorough explanation:

A point system is a method used in criminal law to assign incremental units to traffic violations. When a person commits a traffic violation, they receive a certain number of points. If a person accumulates a certain number of points within a year, their driving privileges may be automatically suspended.

For example, if a person is caught speeding, they may receive two points on their driving record. If they run a red light, they may receive three points. If they accumulate a total of 12 points within a year, their driver's license may be suspended.

Another example is if a person is caught driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, they may receive six points on their driving record. If they accumulate a total of 12 points within a year, their driver's license may be suspended.

These examples illustrate how the point system works in criminal law. It is designed to encourage safe driving and discourage reckless behavior on the road. By assigning points to traffic violations, it provides a clear and objective way to determine when a person's driving privileges should be suspended.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
