Lower Your Driver's License Points

Many countries in the world use the point system when it comes to your driver's license. It means that every traffic violation adds a number of points to your license, and if you hit a certain number in a period of time, you are punished. However, there are a few ways to fight this system, or at least lower your points. Here's an article by Lance Esondi that explains this.

The Driver's License Point System - Protecting the Points You Have on Your License

In most states there is a driver's license point system. This means that as you get traffic infractions, violations, and tickets each of them have points. As you get more tickets you earn more points. Eventually you will hit the limit and lose your license.

One of the ways of protecting the points on your license is to drive more safely. This is the most obvious but it's a good idea for general safety of others and so you won't lose your license.

Some states allow a driver's defense class. Sometimes it can only be taken once while other states allow it to be taken once a year. If you have earned a significant number of points against your license, it's a good idea to look into classes that might lower your points.

You can also try for alternative punishments when you do get traffic violations. One very common one is traffic school. When getting a ticket ask for traffic school as an alternative. The reason this save points is because the ticket won't be counted against you at all.

If you are nearing the limit on your points and have some infractions that you need to deal with, then that's a good time to get a lawyer to help. It's better to pay serious money on a lawyer than lose your ability to drive.

Fighting your tickets is another way of keeping points off your record. There are many strong defenses that can be used to beat tickets in court.

Penalty Points and Your Driving Test

Penalty points are the scariest thing you can say to a new driver. Those license taking points accumulate when you violate traffic laws, and they can eventually cause your license to disappear. Here is a guide to penalty points in the UK by Shola Ogunlokun. Watch out!

UK Provisional License - Penalty Points and the Driving Test


If you posses a UK provisional license then you need to beware of the effects of penalty points on your license, and your ability to take the UK driving test.

First of all learner drivers in the UK must be supervised by a full UK license holder who is 21 years or older and has held their license for a minimum of 3 years. Any offence committed by a provisional license holder resulting in penalty points being added to their license could also result in the supervising driver being prosecuted for aiding and abetting.

Here are 6 facts you need to know about penalty points on UK provisional licenses and the driving test.

1. Any points added to your provisional license will stay on for a minimum of 4 years, some penalty points can stay for as long as 10 years!

2. There is no driving course or any other means of getting points off your license, they can only be removed after the statutory time has expired.

3. Points are not automatically removed from licenses, you have to apply to the DVLA and pay a fee for the points to be removed.

4. Points on your provisional license will not stop you from taking the driving test, but if you have more than 6 points on your license, then your license will be revoked under the new driver act! Your pass certificate along with your provisional license will be sent to the DVLA, and you will get a letter back advising that you are once again a learner and need to pass the driving test again.

5. 12 points or more on any UK driving license means a ban.

6. Penalty points on a driving license usually results in higher insurance premiums, so it is in your own interest to abide by the law.

So if you are a holder of a UK provisional driving license, drive carefully, don't break the law otherwise it is going to cost you in time and money to get your full UK driving license.
