Good morning all..

Ive currently got 9 points on my licence, 1 x TS10 and 2 x SP30's...
My question is how long are they on my licence for? My TS10 is 3 years old on the 02/01/10 so i was wondering how long it is until im out of the danger totting up area!?

Thanks

 

points are valid for 3 years, get removed from your licence after 4 years

Not the case now, valid for 4 years, removed after 5...

 

depends on the offence,3 years or 4 or 11 for DD. some offences are also from date of conviction rather than date of offence. sp30's were always 3 years for totting up but 4 years for removal but i dont know if its changed recently.

Oh fair enough, I got 3 for being on the phone the other day and he told me 4 years

 

The last year of "Must stay on licence" eg year 4, is only there for the courts use.
If you committed an offence at the end of year 3 and it doesn't get to court until year 4 they can see it needs to be totted up.

its valid for 4 removed after 5 ive got 9 6 for no insurance when i was stupid and 3 for hitting a traffic car lol im deadly serious but its 4-5

 

Does anyone have a link to wherever it says about the time limits? Got 3 bans on my licence from june 06, offences committee march 06, and I was under the impression I could have them removed from my licence in march, as that would be the 4yrs from date of offence.
