Answer 3

Answer 4

3 years

Answer 5

Endorsements must remain on a licence for four years from the date of offence. If you want to remove any expired endorsements from your driving licence eg penalty points for speeding, then you must apply to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) using the relevant application form and fee.

Answer 6

Penalty points count for the totting up process (ie 12 points = a ban) for 3 years and can be removed after 4 years.

Answer 7

They count against you for three years following conviction, but it is four years before they can be 'surgically removed' from your driving licence. This is to allow for any delay in subsequent offences with which the offender might be charged in reaching court and being dealt with -- a kind of safety margin.

Answer 8

3 years on your licence. 4 years for insurance purposes.

Answer 9

If you are convicted of a motoring offence, the court can endorse your driving licence with penalty points or order a period of disqualification from driving. The details are entered on your driving record and your paper driving licence or photocard D740 paper counterpart document.

In addition to paying a fine or fixed penalty, your driving licence will be endorsed with a penalty ranging from three to eleven points or a period disqualification depending on the seriousness of the offence.

Totting-up
If you incur 12 or more penalty points within a period of three years you will be liable to be disqualified under the ‘totting-up’ system. Information on your driving entitlement and endorsements are sent to the courts and police on request.

Endorsements and disqualifications
The amount of time in which an endorsement remains on your licence depends on the type of offence committed. The date in which the endorsement starts also depends on the type of offence.

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)

Endorsements must remain on a licence for four years from date of conviction if the offence is:

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
Endorsements must remain on a licence for four years from the date of offence in all other cases.
