It's four years unless it's a biggie like drunk driving or causing death by dangerous driving.

[Adam.I]

So let's say you got caught for speeding, you get three points, then six months later you get caught again for the same offence, you would have to wait four years from that date, then you would lose all six and start again? Also, if it was dangerous driving or under the influence, what is it then?

From Jan 05 insurance companies will ask for all motoring convictions dating back up to 11 years.

[dainesefreak]

The points stay on for each offence until the date for the individual offence has passed. First one off, six months later second one off.

It's 11 years for one of the big offences I believe.

[dipsy]

I think its 10 years for no insurance

Too true. It's only a 2 second google search if you don't know. Just so happens I did. Not that I'm a serial offender you understand.

Right, except for a few serious codes.

They are only of real relevance for 3 years, but must stay on your licence for 4 years.

All the best

It helps if you edit your posts after making a fool of yourself.
