IN the UK it depends on the offence!
But generally 3 years from the date it was put on for totting up purposes, 12 points or more and you usually lose your licence.
4 years before the points can be removed for speeding or similar offences.
Most insurers ask for up to 5 yrs history of points.
With drink driving it is 10 yrs from the date you get your licence back, as you will have been disqualified.

It counts for "totting up" purposes for three years but you have to wait a further year before you can apply for a clean license. I'm six months away from getting mine and hope I make it.
There's so much hypocrisy talked about speeding offences. After all, we are all guilty, even the police (not counting when they are are on their way to a crime scene or whatever).
I got caught doing 38mph in a 30 zone at 5.15am on my way to work, one morning in March 2003. There was no-one else in sight, I had a clear view of the road and knew I was endangering no-one. I could see the camera but mistakenly thought they only acted from behind. Suddenly there was a bright flash of light right in my face from only about twenty feet away. It quite unsettled me as it was still dark. I thought "if it had been me standing by the side of the road firing a powerful flash gun at oncoming motorists, how long before I got arrested?" Also, I believe that if it had been a police officer who had caught me, under the circumstances he may have used his discretion and let me off with a warning. But these cash machines have no discretion, do they?

Fixed penalties are active on your licence for three years but stay on your licence for four years. After the fourth year you can apply to have them removed.

there are various if people at here mixing and mis-matching street site visitors regulation and my puppy hate, no longer understanding the all significant wording of the offences. the line site visitors Act states that this is an offence to apply a vehicle on a street or different public place without valid coverage conceal, in spite of the undeniable fact that this is an offence to maintain a vehicle on a street without an excise licence. For the applications of prosecution, there's a brilliant distinction. on the instant, this isn't any longer an offence to park on a street without coverage, and that's the place the recent notion comes into stress, in actuality, they desire to alter USE to maintain.

You will get a lot of different answers here and how would you know if any of them are correct? It may vary according to where you live. Call your nearest drivers license office and ask them. They will tell you. And lighten up on the gas pedal.

11 years from date of conviction for offences relating to drink/drugs and driving, causing death by careless driving whilst under the influence of drink/drugs and causing death by careless driving then failing to provide a specimen for analysis
4 years from date of conviction for reckless/dangerous driving and offences resulting in disqualification
