How long are SP 30 (speeding) Points Valid

[NerveAgent]

depends on the ban

mate had DD and that was 10 years I think.

Sp30, so the dvla site suggests 4 years from date of conviction (if bans are treated the same as points)

I've got 3 lovely ones offered to me by Yorkshire tax office thanks to my 70 in a 50.

Was the road once a 70?

Yes, bloody motorway but slowed down because it was a bridge/bend but easy 70mph. Idiotic ticket to be honest, it was a GATSO, no excuse as I was in la la land after an intense meeting and chatting to a colleague. First ticket in over 15 years of driving serious cars lots of miles, so law of averages.

Sounds like the M606 out of Bradford?

3 years for totting up purposes, 4 years on license, generally insurers ask for points within last 5 years. At least, that's how I understand it.

This.

Quick question to add to the debate however. Insurance companies say you have to declare points within the last 5 years.

Drink Driving Bans are valid on your license for 10 years (source)

So what do you do after 6 years, its technically still on your license, but the insurers only ask about points in the last 5 years ?

You got it.

 

[Housey]

As you can see it was an INCREDIBLY risky situation with cars all around me. How people didn't die and the world stop turning I have no idea. But, the law is the law so I shall pay my fine and take my points and put it down to experience.

 

[Housey]

Oh and to add insult to injury I got a fine in Plymouth for going down a bus lane by total mistake coming out of a late showing of Skyfall and making the mistake of following my Sat Nav and when I saw the Bus Lane sign I was committed. Another £60, a great week for Housey

Jesus, you're a bit of a menace aren't you?

It's a good thing we have so many cameras or we'd be living in some chaotic banana republic.

Nice diagram - so you're more likely to die falling down the stairs than in a car accident XD

Or from excessive liquid poo...that is more likely to kill you than a car accident.

I'm sure we've all felt near death many times on the throne

Housey,

Is that 200912 the date? I assume you received this within 14 days and know about that time limit etc?

Cheers

It was by to book.

Your insurance company aren't really asking how many points you have, they're just asking what convictions you've had in the last 5 years. They don't care what the points total is really.

It still affects the price of your quote though, though from what I've seen it's only pennies, think my dad's went up £14.

What does that have to do with the price of cheese?

You use monies for cheese.
