brockbart 6 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 if it works the same as a ban, then from the day you got them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maty j 6 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 How old are you now? In the first 2 years of drving you only get 6 lives to play with so the 9 points will take you over right away lol. Hardly worth bothering to pass your test really It may work differently when you are issued points before you have the licesnse but that's my understanding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hardly worth bothering to pass your test really It may work differently when you are issued points before you have the licesnse but that's my understanding. As far as I remember, if the points are accrued before you pass (i.e. are issued onto your provisional) you still get a full licence when you pass your test, but one more point after that will revert you back to learner status as per the New Drivers Act.

stealthy1 3,964 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 You get your points as soon as the courts issue you them, then you send your licence off to the DVLA, or have them written on your licence in court, after 3 years they run out, but I think its five years before they vanish for good Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beddyman 6 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 [points are put on your licence and dated to the day of the offence .. they remain on your licence for 4 years before they can be removed but are no longer in effect after 3 years .. so between 3 and 4 years they are not used in a totting up procedure if you got more .....

My mate had pretty much the same thing, wrote a letter, went in and grovelled a bit promised to do pass plus etc and got it reversed. always worth a try! p.s whereabouts in perthshire are you I've got a fair few shoots around perth?

IN your case it'll be 3 years from the date your licence is issued NOT 3 years from date of conviction Quote Link to post Share on other sites
