I've got an old SP50 (3 points at the time) handwritten on my licence counterpart. The offence was 24th May 2009, so it expired last year (no points now, yay) but I believe can physically be erased from a licence after 5 years, which it is now. Shall I leave it or send it to DVLA to send me a new copy without the offence code? No doubt they'll want £20 or something?
 
Wouldn't bother - with the last set of points I had they took it from me, stuck a line through them then returned the counterpart!

Yeah. I checked online and yep, they say return the licence with £20. Typical! I won't bother. Good to see they officially have me down as 0 points though. Also, it seems that SP speeding offences can come off after 4 years. I was always under the impression that it expired after 4 but had to stay on the licence for 5.
