Points Accumulation
For all RTA enquiries please call us now on : 0207 061 3690
The UK’s system of penalising motor vehicle drivers for traffic violations works
by assigning points for each type of violation and revoking the driver's licence
if a certain number of points are accrued.
The following table shows how accumulating points will impact on you:
|
Points Accumulation & What You May Be Facing
|
|
0 Points
|
Keep the first penalty points off your driving licence and stay in that lucky group
of people with a clean driving licence! This will keep your Insurance Premiums to
a minimum
|
|
3 Points
|
If you have been driving for less than 2 years you are on the verge of being disqualified
and having to re-do both parts of your Driving Test again
|
|
6 Points
|
You are one conviction away from losing your licence i.e. if you’re convicted of
Careless Driving or caught travelling at excessive speeds
|
|
9 Points
|
One more offence, such as travelling at a speed of 35mph in a 30mph zone and your
driving licence is gone and you will be banned for 6 months.
|
|
12 Points
|
You are facing a 6 month driving ban unless you have strong mitigation or special
reasons.
