Struggling to get a clear view on this.

I was out in Northern Ireland a few weeks ago helping out a dealer friend and was doing some running around for him, I was on his traders insurance.

Totally forgot about a van having a lower NSL and got caught doing 72 in a 70, van limit was 60.

Anyone advise on whether the points will appear on my UK licence or whether I will be offered a course (fully clean licence for 6 years) as getting conflicting info?

You'll be offered an online course, I had similar for similar speed recently.

Just for info, yes NI points will appear on a UK licence.

Thats what I suspected. Looking at PSNI guidelines any speed up to 15mph over in a 70 limit will get a course offered as long as you have not had one in previous 3 years, which I haven't.

Completely forgot about larger vans being limited to 60 in a 70 limit.

You say "in a 70 limit", I assume you mean a DCW as the limit on a motorway (which is also a 70 limit) for a van is 70.
