How long does a fixed penalty point stay for on a driving license?
Answers:
IN the UK it depends on the offence!
But generally 3 years from the date it was put on for totting up purposes, 12 points or more and you usually lose your licence.
4 years before the points can be removed for speeding or similar offences.
Most insurers ask for up to 5 yrs history of points.
With drink driving it is 10 yrs from the date you get your licence back, as you will have been disqualified.
In the UK four years I think.
Usually 3 years
Four years at the moment.
it depends on which state. Example it is 3 years on your license, however the insurance company looks 5 years back for rates.. In Ohio
its 3years ok
4 yrs but only counts for 3 on your insurance
4 years i think
Check your states department of public safety or just call the license office.
four years but it wont come off your license for five
Fixed penalties are active on your licence for three years but stay on your licence for four years. After the fourth year you can apply to have them removed.
you are penalised for 3 years but they cant be removed for a further 12 months. Dont understand why, just says on the brochure you are given when your licence is returned to you.
In the UK (not sure about Ireland).
Endorsements remain on a counterpart licence for:
11 years from date of conviction for offences relating to drink/drugs and driving, causing death by careless driving whilst under the influence of drink/drugs and causing death by careless driving then failing to provide a specimen for analysis
4 years from date of conviction for reckless/dangerous driving and offences resulting in disqualification
4 years from the date of offence in all other cases
3 years
It counts for "totting up" purposes for three years but you have to wait a further year before you can apply for a clean license. I'm six months away from getting mine and hope I make it.
There's so much hypocrisy talked about speeding offences. After all, we are all guilty, even the police (not counting when they are are on their way to a crime scene or whatever).
I got caught doing 38mph in a 30 zone at 5.15am on my way to work, one morning in March 2003. There was no-one else in sight, I had a clear view of the road and knew I was endangering no-one. I could see the camera but mistakenly thought they only acted from behind. Suddenly there was a bright flash of light right in my face from only about twenty feet away. It quite unsettled me as it was still dark. I thought "if it had been me standing by the side of the road firing a powerful flash gun at oncoming motorists, how long before I got arrested?" Also, I believe that if it had been a police officer who had caught me, under the circumstances he may have used his discretion and let me off with a warning. But these cash machines have no discretion, do they?
You will get a lot of different answers here and how would you know if any of them are correct? It may vary according to where you live. Call your nearest drivers license office and ask them. They will tell you. And lighten up on the gas pedal.
