Let's just pretend for a moment ,, that I new someone who was coming to the end of a 12 month ban...

What happens to points on the licence?
Do you stay on max points and then the next time a gatso takes advantage of a photo opportunity, do you get another ban?

And another thing, what if my (imaginary) friend didn't have a UK license when they got banned the first time?

nothing... they stay as normal

3 yrs counting against u
4 yrs on your licence
5 yrs required to disclose to insurance companies.

(yes, they did used to wipe the whole thing...not any more)

Unless the ban is for totting up... then I am not sure

Thanks for the reply knowley.

Does this mean that if she gets any more points, before those from the one time offence resulting in the ban expire, then she gets a totting up ban?

I thought you didn't get points and a ban. The ban is the more severe punishment, hence sympathetic magistrates issueing 2 week bans to get rid of points.
