Points on Licence for 3 Years (Effective Period)
Penalty points remain on a current licence for a period of 3 years from the start date (effective date). If a person is disqualified for a period of six months after accumulating 12 points, the points which led to the disqualification are removed at the end of the 6 months. Any period where a licence has expired and is not current will not count as part of the 3 years the points are to remain on the licence record or as part of the disqualification period of 6 months.
