Penalty points are valid for 3 years. The points then remain on your licence for a further year for recording purposes. After this time you may apply to the Driver Vehicle Licensing Authority, Swansea and have them removed.

Penalty points are valid for a period of three years from the date of the offence. However, they cannot be removed from your licence until four years have elapsed.

No. It is not possible to pay a higher penalty to avoid the penalty points. Tendering a payment in excess of the amount stated on the Conditional Offer of Fixed Penalty Notice will not delay or prevent the endorsement of your driving licence in any way.

Almost all motoring offences carry penalty points but some offences carry more points than others. For example if you have a bald tyre you will get three penalty points whereas if you have no insurance you may get as many as eight. Some offences though such as having no MOT certificate or parking offences do not carry penalty points at all.

Penalty points last thee years from the date of the offence, but remain on the licence for 4 years (11 years for drinking or drug offences). If 12 or more points are accumulated within 3 years the driver will be disqualified, however the courts are given limited powers not to disqualify in exceptional circumstances. After disqualification under the totting-up procedure the existing points will be removed from your licence but your licence will refer to the disqualification for 4 years.

In most cases, yes. But there are sometimes particular situations which we call "special reasons" where we can persuade the Court not to impose penalty points because it would be unfair. When we discuss your case with you we will be looking out for these "special reasons".

A form to apply for removal of penalty points can be collected at a Post Office after four years have elapsed. This, in effect, gives you a ‘clean’ licence. You are under a legal obligation to produce your documents within seven days of being requested to do so by the officer who gave you the form. You must take all the documents you were asked to produce (driving licence, insurance certificate and MOT certificate), to the police station that you nominated at the time.

No. We have seen no evidence that penalty points indicate a greater risk. In the UK, the experience has been that as drivers get penalty points, they drive more safely. So for the moment our intention is not to load for penalty points.

No. Penalty points are only received for driving offences dealt with by the Police under criminal law.

That depends on the health and condition of each animal. Sometimes a bird will have an injury or illness prior to oiling and that will call for an extended stay in captivity. The quickest a bird can be released is usually around 5 days however most average up to 7 days in captivity. Our goal is always to get them in and out as soon as possible to reduce the effects of captivity.

All procedures are done on an outpatient basis. You are encouraged to walk and drive immediately after the procedure. Most individuals can resume work within three or four days. I believe it is prudent to avoid vigorous lower extremity workouts for about ten days.

The average hospital stay for a hip replacement patient is around 3 days. In some cases, fixing one hip reduces the stress on the other hip, thus giving another two or three years if the arthritis is not too advanced. Each individual case is different.

The procedure is done as an ambulatory surgery. This means that you will come into the hospital on the day of surgery and go home later that afternoon or evening. All the children receive general anesthesia during surgery and go to the recovery room until fully awake.
