How long for points off licence?

[NiceCupOfTea]

Hi folks.

It's that anniversary again

I have vague recollections about 3 / 4 / 5 year anniversaries for points meaning not counted for totting up / off licence / don't have to mention to insurance companies any more (respectively).

It's 3 years (feels like longer ) so I guess nothing really changes (unless I get 9 points for something )

for speeding and the like I think they're valid for 3 years, but remain on your licence for 4.
Could be wrong.

Yep 3/4/5 (unless more serious offences such as drink/drive etc.)

But the insurance companies want to know for five years so I just haven't bothered getting my licence cleaned up. It currently shows two 3 pointers but only one in the last five years...
