maximum points per traffic offence

Hi, I listened to a nice conversation in a pub this week and was a little surprised: Allegedly, a truck driver collected 14 points on account of a too long truck and also too long trailer at once. Supposedly, the truck was ordered by the forwarder and no one noticed that it was too long. That should be noted in the papers. Furthermore, only the driver was punished and the dispatcher did not. Can it really be that: 1. only the driver punished wi approx. 2. due to a truck that was allegedly bought too long (and nobody wants to have noticed it) the driver gets 14 points at a time. 7 for the truck and 7 for the trailer (because supposedly the driver has a license plate) The story seems a bit funny to me Besides, the driver has to get medical pyschological advice. He really meant MPA and not MPU. This was also questioned by his companion.
