a friend of mine has now got 13 points on her licence, the copper told her that she will only get banned for 6 weeks and then the licence will be clean, im trying to tell her thats not true, or am i wrong? thanks
hey, im only 16 and i know that when you have got 12 points on your license, you get banned for about 1 - 2 years. your friend is wrong and you are right
My hubby got caught by a mobile speed trap three years ago and got a fine and three points on his licence. He'll get those back soon I believe. So you friend is in deep trouble here, unless some of her points are due to be put back on her licence. I can only wonder what her insurance must cost. :-) Here's a link to the government info site on motoring offences. IInterestingly, it appears you have to apply to the DVLA to have offences taken off your licences, it doesn't appear to happen automatically. Worth knowing. Good luck. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/DriverLic ensing/EndorsementsAndDisqualifications/DG_402 2550
XxAzxX - it always pays to research your answer before posting as you look quite daft when you are so positive about something that you are so wrong about.
Gina your friend sounds like she needs to slow down and address her driving skills for her and everybody elses sake.
your friend cannot have 13 pts on her licence,as she would already be banned from driving,do you mean she has 10 and is in a position,because of a summons to receive another 3,which will take her to 13 and a almost certain ban,read the other posts as to the length of ban,except the 1st post,who hasent got a clue.
Maybe some of the earliest points are due to be taken off or expire imminently. I had an ex brother in law who had 14 points on his licence for a very short time.
