penalty points - valid for??

[craigw]

Quick question guys.. I got 3 points in Oct 1997. I thought they were only valid for 3 years, just sent off to DVLA and they came back and said they are valid for 4 years?? Anyone know the answer?

Thanks for that. I wonder if they will take into account that they are not valid when I stand up in court next week?
