Points Removed from Driving License...any idea how?

Are there any driving license experts out there?

I got points for drink-driving in August 2002. They show on my license.

I've a feeling I can get these removed from my license after a certain period.

I've been on the DVLA and Directgov sites, and can't find any info about removing points.

Does anyone have any idea how I can do this? I'm sure it's quite common....:confused:

Cheers, yorkie

    All the info about offence codes and points removal is here: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/DriverLicensing/EndorsementsAndDisqualifications/DG_10022425

    I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.

    You send it off after the period listed and you get back a clean licence.

    Unfortunately for you, that's not going to be any time before 2013.
