Points, Ban & Convictions

[wul3er]

Does anyone know if theres a website were you can put in a Convicion code ie sp30 and it tells you how long its on the license and how long you have to declair it.

I think I'm right in saying that any endorsements on your license remain in effect for three years, and you'll have to declare them until the term ends..
SP30 is just a straight speeding endorsement, isn't it?

[BLACK6N_POLO]

yea ur right i think its 3 yrs!

[wul3er]

Think so, That was just the first example that came to mind.

The ones in Question are
DD40
LC20

Are they there for 3 years from the conviction date or is it the date of offence.

1. Endorsement Guide

Disqualifications, convictions and acceptance of fixed penalties payments in respect of driving offences are notified to DVLA by the courts. The details are entered on to the driver's record and the licence. In addition to paying a fine/fixed penalty the drivers licence will be endorsed with a penalty ranging from 3-11 points or a period of disqualification will be imposed, depending on the seriousness of the offence. Any driver who incurs 12 or more penalty points within a 3-year period is liable to be disqualified under the "totting -up" system. Information on a driver's entitlement and endorsements are sent to courts and police on request.

Endorsements must remain on a licence for 11 years from date of conviction if the offence is :

*

drinking/drugs and driving (shown on the licence as DR10, DR20, DR30 and DR80).
*

causing death by careless driving whilst under the influence of drink/drugs (shown on the licence as CD40,CD50 and CD60).
*

causing death by careless driving, then failing to provide a specimen for analysis (shown on the licence as CD70).

or 4 years from date of conviction if the offence is as listed below :

*

reckless/dangerous driving (shown on the licence as DD40,DD60 and DD80),
*

offences resulting in disqualification.
*

disqualified from holding a full licence until a driving test has been passed.

or 4 years from the date of offence in all other cases.

So, 4 years That must have gone up without me noticing..
Just to be awkward, looks like 4 years from the conviction on the DD40 and 4 years from the offense on the LC20.
