when do they come off? i got 3 points in march 2004, does that mean they have come off?

 

depends what they were for,some go from date of offence,some from date of conviction


which reminds me i think i may be point free next month

 

They ceased to count in March this year, and you can have them removed in March 2008

 

3 points, I assume for speeding? Usually thats 4 years from the date of offence

So, March 2008

 

actually looks like its not 3 years anymore....

 

so they are valid for 3 years and can be removed after 4? theres nothing i can see on the dvla site to show how long points stay valid for

 

Its on the dvla webby somewhere, I enquired about mine ages ago

 

can i fook find it,im pretty sure my last 7 are no longer valid next month but id like to be sure

 

hmm yeah it was for speeding

so does it count? i.e. when telling insurance companies

 

I would tell any insurance co as they merely need to look on their computer to see anyway, as hooked up to DVLA!!
If you don't disclose a "MATERIAL FACT" IT CAN AND MOST LIKELY NULLIFY your insurance, if you claim.
I always laugh when people say they are only valid for three but remain for four years, if they are on there they are valid for FOUR years from date of conviction.
A trick to have them removed for FREE is to rereg your license at a different address such as friends then when it comes re reg it back, if points are expired they are taken off automatically saving you money!!

they are only valid for the "totting up" system for 3 years! they are on your licence for 4 years and you have to declare them to your insurance for 5 years!!
the above applies for speeding and is taken from the date of offence!!

Valid on your licence for totting up for 3 years
You can have them removed after 4 years
Yet you still have to tell the insurance company for 5

 

just found out after the 4th year you do not have to declare them, just found out from my brother who found out via pistonheads and DVLA website

 

Each insurance company has their own policy. If they say 5 years, then you must declare it.
