Bit of help guys had points basically when I just passed when I was 17 :signLOL:
And it's just coming up to three years now will my points come off? :smiley:
-
after three years i think you can apply to have them taken off (will still stay on record though)
gotta declare to insurers for 5 years
-
Are they not active for 3 years, on your license for 4 years (then apply for new paper part) and have to be declared for 5 years to insurance?
Also, they are taken into consideration for 'totting up' points over a four year period? i.e., 12 points in 48 months = ban
I think that's how it works.
-
They are active for 3, stay on for 4, but your insurance usually ask for 5 years history.
-
Seems quite unfair they are active for 3, on licence for 4 yet still declared for 5. I known in the beginning of my fourth year my insurance company still charged me £50 extra for the privilage!
-
Active for 3 years, can apply to have them taken off after 4 years, this was how it was in 2000 anyway (the last time i had points taken off my license :happy2:)
-
Is that the same for Speeding codes? I just got a straight ban.
Been on my licence since October 2008. :ashamed:
In regards to the 12 points in 24 months = ban...12 points results in a ban no matter the length of time (providing none have expired)

Four years from the date of conviction
If the offence is for:
•reckless/dangerous driving - shown on the licence as DD40, DD60 and DD80
•offences resulting in disqualification
•disqualified from holding a full driving licence until a driving test has been passed
Example: Date of conviction is 28 May 2004 – the endorsement must stay on the licence until 28 May 2008.
Four years from the date of offence
In all other cases.
Example: Date of offence 10 June 2005 – the endorsement must stay on the licence until 10 June 2009.

I don't see the point of paying more money out to have them reprint a clean license as it makes no difference if something is printed on it or not.. it matters if its still current and live on the database...
I still have my convictions from 6yrs ago on mine.. even though its clean now on the database..
-
You dont pay to have them removed, you just send it in and they send it back with another removed, i never paid, you pay enough to get them put on, no way you pay to take them off lol
-
Is it not you have to declare the points to insurance first 3 years, then the points are removed after the 4th year.

Mines for excessive speeding on a motorway and the date of the offence was 25th of October 2008 and convicted in March 2009. No points etc since :driver:

-
So from what i can gather mine should be coming off this march :jumping:
It was well worth undertaking on a bus lane and speeding that night though :signLOL:
Not worth dad taking my car off me lol :sad1:

Well into three figures then? :surprised:

I wouldn't bother posting your license to the Doovla to get your endorsements removed. I sent mine off to get a couple removed but they simply sent the original paper part of my license back with some lines neatly drawn through the points. Triffick!
