Ban

[McNoodle]

Anne Robinson's just been banned for 6 months - (who cares) - after that period is the licence wiped clean of points?

"you are the weakest link........................goodbye"

sorry dont know if points are wiped.

Usally stay on your licence for around 4 years! So best be careful! ;o)

If she was disqualified under "totting up" (12 points in three years) then, yes, the points revert to zero.

If she was banned for a single offence then no, any pouints remain as they were.

She got 4 points to add to the 9 she already had.

Why do you say "No", mdoo?

The law is quite clear. Following a disqualification under "totting up" (to which, it seems Ms Robinson was subject) the driver's points tally returns to zero.

It is true that the endorsements remain on the driver�s licence for the appropriate period (and so must be disclosed for insurance purposes). However, the driver has a �clean sheet� as far as points are concerned and has to accumulate another twelve within three years before facing another disqualification.

she just gets the last 4 points knocked off look it up in google she still has 9 points showing

[New Judge]

'fraid not, cleggie. Whatever you found on Google is wrong.

Points definitely revert to zero when a "totting" ban is imposed.

Under your proposal, four more points immediately following the ban would mean a second disqualification, this time for 12 months minimum. This is not the way the system works.
