Seademon 0 Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I was banned for 2 weeks in 2005 and already had 3 points - someone at work just said that if I was banned then my points no longer count, can anyone shed some light on this? Link to post Share on other sites
vr6madmike 0 Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Was it an instant ban then? Or was it the fact they gave you 9points to take you over 12? Link to post Share on other sites

vr6madmike 0 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Lots of people think a ban is better than having points that remain on your licence but surely you still have a ban to your name too which you have to declare to the dreaded insurers?!? Link to post Share on other sites
