    Doesn't seem a very good system if lower end careless is punished more harshly than the most serious.
    How do you come to that opinion?

    So he hit a stationary vehicle rather than a parked and unattended one. Wonder why it had stopped.
    How do you conclude it wasn't parked? Not that it makes any difference.

    Bottom end gets 3 points. More serious gets at least 3 points. How is that less harsh?
