[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.

So they can rip you off for another year

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.

how many points to lose a licence? i thought 9?

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

You can be banned (disqualified) from driving if you either:

are convicted of a driving offence
get 12 or more penalty points (endorsements) within 3 years
