    The Guards do decide what points are given. You are saying they don't which is untrue.

    No they don't the penalty for Speeding if the guard doesn't let you off with a warning is 3 points.
    The guard merely told you what to expect they most certainly didn't decide that 3 is an appropriate amount of points, just that they would cite you and that's the punishment.
    A guard cannot decide what points you get in terms of the penalty just whether or not to penalise you.

    the points are determined by the offence. the guard has no control over how many points you receive.

    The discretion is to cite you for an offence or let you off with a warning using their discretion.

    Just to add you can most certainly lose your licence in one instance should the offences add up.

    You're embarassing yourself here. There are fixed points for offences, that's why they're called fixed charge penalty notices.

    The discretion is in whether or not to give the ticket at all, if they decide to give it then it's a fixed penalty of X points and X fine or just X fine depending on the offence.

    The Garda has no control over how many points are given, and don't be believing any fairy stories that they do:rolleyes:
