How long do penalty points stay on my licence? Penalty points are effective for 3 years from the date of conviction (which is the date of the offence for Fixed Penalty Notices) but remain on your licence for 4 years.

on licence 4 years but count for 3 years

hows that work?

[Beats me why insurance companies ask if you have had any driving convictions in the last 5 years when all the low level fixed penalty ones are gone of your licence in four years.

Don't forget you've still got to tell them if you've been on a speed awareness course.

Don't forget you've still got to tell them if you've been on a speed awareness course. Failing to do so will render your policy null and void. I nearly fell by the wayside when I went on the course.

3. How long endorsements stay on your driving record Endorsements stay on your driving record for 4 or 11 years depending on the offence. This can start from either the date you’re convicted or the date of your offence. The endorsement is ‘valid’ for the first: 3 years, for a 4-year endorsement 10 years, for an 11-year endorsement A court can take your endorsement into account if both: you commit another offence while it’s valid the endorsement is still on your driving record when the court considers your case Other people, eg insurers and employers, may be able to find out that you have the endorsement: any time during a 4-year endorsement during the first 5 years of an 11-year endorsement, or the first 30 months if you’re under 18 4 years from date of conviction An endorsement will stay on a driving record for 4 years from the date of conviction if the offence: is for reckless/dangerous driving - shown on the driving record as DD40, DD60 and DD80 results in disqualification
