"These penalty points must remain on your driving licence for four years but are actually valid for the first three years from the date of the offence. After four years have passed, you may have them removed"
If they're only valid for 3 years, then why must we keep them on the licence for 4 years? That suggests that the offence still stands for another year.
Then there's the car insurance people who base their premiums on 5 years from the date of the offence.
My lovely clean licence got 3 points in may 2009 for doing 70 in a temporary 60 (roadworks) on an empty motorway at 2am.

)) they don't count them for totting up to that '12 and you're banned' point in that final year.
