Motor Insurance - points on licence

seikothrill

I received 3 points and a £60 fine on 06 May 2006 for a SP30 speeding offence - 83mph in a 70 zone.

Does anyone know the answers to the following?

1. How long do the points remain on your licence or is it a lifetime?
2. How do you get points removed if they do not remain for a lifetime?
3. How long is it before motor insurers ignore these points?

I apologise for questin but don't have a clue where to start looking for answers.

Thanks in advance for any help

1) Points remain for different periods depending on the crime. Yours stay on for 4 years from the date of the offence.

2) Pay for a new clean licence.

3) 5 years usually

my partner had 3 points removed an sp30 , not so long ago you can have them removed 4 yrs after date of offence (depending on offence) i think its about £17.50 to have them removed but not sure

if you change address (or otherwise need a new licence) then there's no charge for having them removed!

i think that you're still meant to tell the insurer about them up to 5 years though, even if they aren't still printed on the license

otherwise it would be totally unfair on those people who haven't changed their license?
