They actually show up on your licence until you send it off to have them removed and I think you have to pay for that too. I have some ancient ones on mine because I still have the old paper licence I think my points are from 1996. I haven't had any since and couldn't be bovvered getting them taken off as they no longer count anyway.

Yep thats right enough. But if you send off for a new liscence before 4 years has passed the points still show up even though the 3 year period has passed.

Yeah you're right about that. Also I think lots of insurers these days ask about convictions and points etc in the last 5 years so getting them removed doesn't always help in that respect either.

It's not about how old your car is... it's the car you may hit that they are covering
