err, it was 200*4* we were in court, you know...

 

yes but the three years counts from the date of the offence though the
following page only gives details of when they can be removed from the
licence.

I think that they 'expire' after 3 years but can't be taken off til after 4
from the date of offence, unless you're DQ'd or done for dangerous driving,
where it's 4 years from the conviction date.

Or something

to quote from the page below, our offences are counted for topping up
for three years and must be left on the licence for four.

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 is liable to be disqualified under the
"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.

Yeah, I already read the link. Note the following passages:

(It doesn't specify here when the 3-year period starts)

Which is not talking about how long they remain valid for totting-up
purposes.

I _know_ from much past experience that it was always date of
conviction that counted in this case.

And insurance companies for some reason ask for declaration of points
for five years.

I would have thought that for both it depends on the type of offence
as to which date counts as the start.

for serious cases, as stated in the original link, its the date of
conviction. for lesser its the offence date.

No, I think you're just wanting to believe that. Let's examine the
statement again:

So it's clearly talking about the date on which the points are
"incurred" which can surely only be the date of conviction.

The maximum they're allowed to with regard to rehabilitation of
offenders. Anything non-custodial is declarable for 5 years, anything
with a custodial sentence under 18 months for 7 years and anything
longer than that for 10 years.

 

I had a (minor) offence recorded on my licence a while back. For some
reason there was a considerable delay between the offence and
conviction. The countdown for removal from the licence started from
the date of conviction, which is when the offence was recorded and
endorsed on my licence - there were two dates actually written on the
licence - offence and conviction. They took the latter, natch.

 

The picture on the card?

Aye - must be. Those pictures need special handling. You can't just
print them using any old equipment y'know.
Printers capable of handling ginga properly are quite expensive. As is
the HazMat shielding. And the psycotherapy for the operators.

Phil.

 

Leave your attributions in, you fucking clueless newbie.

 

I think you're talking shite, unfortunately.

Still, you'll find out for sure when you try and get the points taken
off.

 

Heh, is this like scanners that won't scan banknotes ;-)

P.

 

I know they don't come off for four years. the likelihood is that
they'll stay there until I next move house or change my name. neither
of which i'm planning to do in the near future.
