Instead of the fucking 9 i have had for ages

3 came off yesterday

3 more off next year......

Then the finally 3 off in 2008

 

You can breath again

when i had 9 the first points to drop off were 6 i got for one offence so that felt excellent

if i can make it for another year then i'll be back to zero

 

i'm nearly there now too I had 9 points then 3 came off early part of this year and the last 6 come off in 2 or 3 months time.

feels weird I've had various points on my licence since I had it.

 

Nice one Tiff, that means by the time you get to drive your S1 you'll have a clean licence

 

 

Thing is tho, even tho they come off your licence after 4 years, you still have to tell your insurance company cause they want to know if you've had any convictions in the past 5 years.

 

That does suck and apparently it makes no difference

When i phoned greenlight they ran through what they had on file for me and it included a non fault crash in 1998! I asked the guy to take it off and he says no we'll just keep it

 

think your right mate

 

I had 2 bans and 9 points and had to drive round for just over 2 years like that..... Got my licence back after the 2nd ban and picked up 9 points in just 8 months... all 9 from poxy mobile cameras

 

Hiya Chop,

Just to clarify, some Insurers request have you EVER had a claim or conviction. So we do tend to retain details upon our system in case we ever have to use one of these guys if they come good when quoting for your vehicle.

Most Insurers ask for claims/convictions either within 3 or 5 years and rate within this period.

Kind regards

Tony
