You still need to declare them though, even if they aint showing on the paperwork.. IMO, You've just bought a cossie, leave em on there till 5 years old and if you aint been nicked again in that time take em of then

im not gonna bother removing em tbh, why cant see the point if they aint valid imo , ya dont need to carry the paper part of ya licence with ya and the old bill know all the offences ya done now via the computer BEFORE they pull ya over !!!, they can trace all offences when ya go court from when ya first had a licence no mater if ya got em taken off, why pay to remove em

fair point i think my 3 points will be coming soon. i wrote them a letter and phoned them to ask for the pics. should get them through. yet it sounded dodgy when she said to me she had to send them off for editing i know it was me driving but i wanna see where about on the road i got caught by the van cam. it was a 50mph then a 40mph just over a hill and the police were in a perfect lay by for getting anyone. so anyone speeding a bit will get shafted. fair enough yeah i was speeding i dont doubt that but if i was still in 50mph zone why should i get points and fined

i mean my speedo was out
