Your points are valid for 3 yrs & you can have them removed after 4 but car insurance always wants to know if you have had any convictions in last 5 yrs. You should inform you car insurance if you get any points.

Theres little point in sending for another licence when the points expire, its obvious from the date that they are expired.

Included in the maps database of my TomTom are details of just about all the speed restriction areas. It's nothing to do with speed cameras and it does tell me the maximum speed limit of areas in which I am driving and warns me if I exceed. It's very useful, especially when hubby is driving and I don't have to keep nagging - TT does it for me.

The writing will stay on your licence unless you send it back to Swansea, but the points still expire after the 3 years!


The points can be totalled up for 3 years (ie if you have nine and another 3 added, you would be due for a ban) but should remain on the licence for 4 years, the final year, not being eligable for totalling up, thus you can technically get up to 15 points before you get a ban.

The points do not autimatically vanish after 4 years, either. You have to send the licence to the DVLA to have them removed. They don't autimatically get removed with a change of address either. I have 3 points on my licence from 9 years ago that I never bothered to get removed. The licence was sent off for a change of address but came back with the points still on. Apparently you have to pay again to have the points removed. As far as I am concerned, I paid the fine (£30 at that time) I am not paying again and the points can stay there. They make no difference to me.

Hi. I still chuckle over the (probably) apocryphal story of the two police officers standing by the side of a road with their speed gun. A low-flying jet went over and the speed gun burst into flames when it hit 550mph. The chief constable wrote to the RAF saying their plane had wrecked his speed gun, and please send the cash to replace it.
The reply from the RAF was that the plane was a fully armed Tornado on it was to a live firing exercise. Its equipment picked up on the radar signal which it couldn't identify and it locked all its rockets onto the source. Without quick thinking by the pilot, it would have launched the lot at the two cops.

points are on your licence from the date of the offence and not the date of any conviction, so it could be 8 or 9 months before you go to court to contest it, they can only be removed after 4 years after the offence
