back in may 2000 i got done for speeding and had a SP50 and 21 day ban

now, they are on your license for 4 years init???

and as i have changed address can i just send my license off with the new address and it will come back clean without me having to pay the £18 or whatever it is?

 

IIRC you still have to pay to get them removed ....

 

ah crap

cheeky fukkers

 

I thought that if you ask for a new liscence because you have lost it, it comes back clean??

Its something to do with having to give you a new number or something that clears the record if its spent, please correct me if I'm wrong??

 

My dad tried that. They changed part of his post code from LN3 to LN8 he though he'd get rid of his points for free but sadly not. I believe after two years you can get it off for free AFAIK.

 

What 2 years on top of the 4 from when you were convicted? another 4 years to go for me then

 

LN3 - is he a lincoln boy?

 

well, i might just leave it then till i get my own house, its been nearly 5 years so 1 more wont hurt lol

 

Yep he lives in East Barkwith (Nearr Wragby)

Some nice roads up there Boston Straight being my favourite

 

definitely! good for some top speeds!

lincs roads have the highest death count in the country so im told! so i have to pick and choose when to be an idiot!!

 

Dont think you get points removed free now regardless how long you wait, £19.00 to get them off. I had to pay and points had been on my licence for 13 years

 

ah. cheers fraz, i guess that kinda clears that up.

theiving fukkers

 

Yup they do anything to get money out of you these days, even build their new systems just so they dont miss a single penny

 

Your points can come off after 3 years although as mentioned you do now have to pay

 

Your points are no longer 'active' after 3 yrs yet they MUST remain on your licence for 4 years from date of offence unless it is obviously for a more serious offence ie dangerous driving where they will remain on for longer!

 

what does it matter they are stil on???????????? they aint active so why pay to get em off

 

incorrect phil, its 4 years from date off offence UNLESS you had recived a ban then its 4 years from date of conviction

the reason to take em off though is if ya get nicked speeding and ya have previous speeding convictions the copper is more likly to do ya then let ya off ( hence why i never cary me licence on me )


but ya right once they dont count i dont care ( all clean for me on 5th pf feb too, 9 points ALLLLLLLLLLLL gone )

 

wen i got bannded for dangous driving i had to take me test again
i passed my test and waited 9 months before i sent off me test pass hoping i would get points and ban removed
but no it came back with them on i had to pay £40 to get um off
but its well worth it as i gone from 27 points to none and got a clean liecence now

 

Deano says THREE years if you pay?

Whats the TRUTH!?

I have 8 points for a no insurance from an offence (ie driving 100m with no insurance to fill up and pulled IN the petrol station ) dated 11/8/01 and convicted 31/1/02.

Going by this the 4 years will be up on 11/8 THIS YEAR yea?

But deano says 3 years if you pay, and thats already up if thats right

Im VERY confused

 

its 3 years then they dont count, its 4 years till the can be taken off but ya have to pay after the 4 years !!!!!


brom 27 points , i know that after 12 points ya winn a bus pass, after 27 i bet ya issues geting roller skates

 

im confused now too BUT In any case steve you will be able to remove your points come 11/8 this yr. it is definately 4 yrs from date of offence in your case as you did not recieve a ban nor were you convicted for a 'serious' offence

 

ginge i already had 15 points before i got banned
then they gave me another 12 points in my absance aswell as getting banned
all points and bans including dangours reckless and drink driving are on for 4 yrs only
death by driving is on for 10 yrs
i looked into this last yr when i was getting me liecance back
used to count for 3 on for 4 yr but its all changed now
4 yrs thats it

 

1. Endorsement Guide
Disqualifications, convictions and acceptance of fixed penalties payments in respect of driving offences are notified to DVLA by the courts. The details are entered on to the driver's record and the licence. In addition to paying a fine/fixed penalty the drivers licence will be endorsed with a penalty ranging from 3-11 points or a period of disqualification will be imposed, depending on the seriousness of the offence. Any driver who incurs 12 or more penalty points within a 3-year period faces automatic disqualification under the under "totting -up" system. Information on a driver's entitlement and endorsements are sent to courts and police on request.

Endorsements must remain on a licence for 11 years from date of conviction if the offence is :

drinking/drugs and driving (shown on the licence as DR10, DR20, DR30 and DR80).

causing death by careless driving whilst under the influence of drink/drugs (shown on the licence as CD40,CD50 and CD60).

causing death by careless driving, then failing to provide a specimen for analysis (shown on the licence as CD70).

or 4 years from date of conviction if the offence is as listed below :

reckless/dangerous driving (shown on the licence as DD40,DD60 and DD80),

offences resulting in disqualification.

disqualified from holding a full licence until a driving test has been passed.

or 4 years from the date of offence in all other cases.

FUCK! So it used to be 3 years, and now its 4? So i still got 8 points counting until August?

COOOOONTS

 

ah right so its only death by dangerous or drink driving... etc that the points stay on longer than 4 yrs!

 

I never new you had to have them removed!

Why?

What's the point?

 

that means they count for 3 years, come off after 4, still the same as before, years ago ( when i was 17 ) points would be on ya licence for 2 years unless disqualified and then would be on for 3 years


good point about why take em off though , but then as i said it allows the copper to look at you as being a first timer and just giving ya shit, imagine brom having 27 points on his licence and geting done for a illegal right hand turn, no chance then, there gonna fook ya

 

Is this correct or not? Im confused

 

yes you still have 8 points till august! doesnt matter really cos you still have to declare them for 5yrs anyhow. even if they are off your licence.. and unless you are planning on getting done for speeding 2 before august you wont be getting a ban.

 

steve they pnly count upto 3 years, i promise as mine come of after 3 years an thats on the 4rd of feb and the 5th of feb ( never takeng a holiday break with a car since )

they will be on ya licence BUT dont count for another year and ya have to declare em for 5 years ( wonder why driving offences are similer to the time spent situation as a proper criminal )

 

but they dont count after 3 years !!!!!!

they reamain on ya licence but you have not got any points for the totting up thing !!!!!

if ya get 6 more points ya wont get banned !!!!!

 

So when insurance asks if i got any points, i say "no", as its spent, right?

 

My offence was in 07/02

If there only active for 3 years, that means that 07/05 they will be inactive but will still be on my licence.

In 07/06, 4 years after the date of my offence, I will be able to remove them.

 

They will ask if you have had any convictions in so many years, usually 5 years so you would need to declare them

 

blackRS, thats correct.

steve i had to declaire my ban to the insurance ass rapers for 4 years, its due end of feb and i wont have to declaire it now.

so if your insurance is up before august, bend over
