they are on for 3 & left on your licence for another year IIRC, so wait a bit & then get your licence renewed.

OK thanks, i need to change my address soon anyway so will wait till then and sort it out.

Change of address will wipe them off I think, assuming they've expired.

Bear in mind insurance still need to know about them for 5 years

I was hoping that alterations on my license would get rid of them (once they are expired), still got a year or so to declare them to insurance but at least it saves me changing my license again at a later date.

Well when I renewed my photocard (for which you have to send the paper bit off too) both my sets of expired points were removed at no additional charge.

Someone told me you are charged for points to be removed, im assuming that is only if you want them removed with no other changes to your license?

ye they charge you and as said, you have to wait for 4 years. sometimes if you change your address the points will come off free of charge. i keep meaning to get my address changed and see if some of my points come off.

i think i need to explain this a bit more

each offence carries 3 points because i did not get them fixed in the 21 days

all of the faults were fixed apart from the windscreen, the garage wouldnt stamp the ticket because not all the faults were fixed

if you get stopped and given a 21 day ticket for a fault and dont get it fixed you can recieve 3 points for each offence

My number plate sits on my dash 364days a year and I've not been pulled/pointed for it. And my windscreen has been cracked for 2 MOT's and its not failed on it and of course no points either.

me thinks you've been stiched up

i didnt think it was an offence either as long as it as at the front of the car and visible but according to my solictor and judge and P.F. it is

its an offence because it must be displayed onn a vertical surface, and on the outside of the vehicle. (real reason: gastos cant see them on the dash :d)

same goes for those numberplates that are stickers on the bonnet (unless its on an E type jag, cos they came from the factory like that)
