1Opinion of the Court

DIGGINS, Sr.J.,

We recognize that this court cannot substitute its judgment to modify a penalty assessed against a licensed driver, but the facts in this case render that concept moot.

The facts of this matter are not in dispute and can best be summarized as follows:

1. In July, 1982, defendant was convicted of failure to stop for a red light (three points).

3. Defendant then took and passed a speeding examination, reducing his record to four points.

4. In September, 1983, defendant committed a speeding violation,…
