I know this has probably been asked 100 times over, but for some reason google is and will only return results in yank which is of no use and i keep getting page cannot be displayed when i use the search feature on here.

Ive got a IN10 i think it is, driving without proper insurance on my licence (6 points) and a TT99 for a previous disqualification, how long do these stay on for? Anybody know for exact, because i get a different answer on every site i went on the other day

edit

IN10 i got on 11/07/2010

TT99 was for disqualification under totting up procedure, i got convicted 17/04/2009 and banned for 6 months got my licence back 17/10/2009

 

IN10 & TT99 are both to stay on your license for 4 Years. However the time for which you must declare these for insurance purposes is usually longer.

 

as above!

 

No clean licence until July 2014 then !

Lesson learnt

 

it used to be 4 years from date of conviction for both insurance and a ban, notification to the insurer is 5 years from date of conviction.not sure if it still is the case though because im a good boy now.

 

As stated..
Valid for 3
On licence for 4
Declare to ins 5 in most cases.
My current bike insurer only want to know about the last 3 years...

 

Im a good boy now, passed my test, banned under totting up within 2.5 years, licence back, 3 months later another 6 points. nae clever

 

got 3 points yesterday doh! bin banned 3 times for totting up in ten years but then im a driver by trade lol

 

not slowed down then

doesnt every time you get a totter up the ban gets longer?

 

its not,insurance and bans are valid for 4 and on licence for 4. lesser offences like sp30's etc are valid for 3 years.

 

lightweight. ive been banned 8 times for outright offences. totting up is for amatuers. 2x 1 year , 2x 2 years, 2 x 3 years and 2 x 4 years plus thousands in fines and many hours community service.
132 in a 60 whilst disqualified, running a policecar off the road etc etc.
i eventually learned my lesson after a very mis spent youth and ive only had 3 points in the last 10 years or so.

 

first 7 days, second 9 month, 3rd 14 days lol

 

im doing my class 2 now so should hopefully slow down, fastest ive ever been clocked at is 96 in a 70, was 41 in a 30 yesterday, i dont really speed anymore but as is always the way i was running late, copper was nice aswel and even he said he wished he hadnt written the ticket as i was a nice honest guy lol

 

You learn something every day!

 

how the fuck did you manage that when the minimum ban for first totting up is 6 months??

 

i dont know, think he took pity on me, both me and the clerk were shocked on how short it was lol

 

Woah

 

Selfish as it may be, reading that made me feel better about my little driving holiday.

That's a serious driving history Fuzzball. I assume your insurance has been a little pricey over the years?!

DVLA's website used to be reasonably good for answering these sorts of questions but it's all amalgamated into a single government website that then links to the information that used to be on the 'old' government websites.

Points are active for 3 years (so count towards totting up), you can apply to have them removed from your licence (at cost) after 4 years and you have to declare them to your insurance (generally - it's due to the rehabilitation of offenders act) for 5 years.

Fuzzy - if I've understood your post right you've spent 20 years of your life banned from driving???

 

Being a driver is a pretty shit excuse, i drive all day for work myself and received no points in almost 5 years.

 

I imagine some of it is concurrent as hes mentioned driving while banned so i suspect some of the bans were extended from 1 to 2 years etc so not adding up to 20 years continous.
