Totting Up Ban – Is 12 Points a Ban?
Yes, accumulating 12 penalty points on your licence within three years can result in a totting up ban.
Most driving offences, such as speeding, vehicle faults, or minor traffic violations, typically incur a fixed penalty notice of three penalty points and a £100 fine. As with any driving licence endorsement, these points will remain on your driver’s licence for at least four years.
Naturally, more serious offences carry a higher penalty. For instance:
- A conviction for driving without insurance can result in up to six points.
- A careless driving conviction can lead to up to nine points.
- A conviction for dangerous driving or drink driving can incur up to 11 penalty points.
For a comprehensive list of driving offences and their corresponding penalties, please refer to the official “Penalty Points (Endorsements)” section on the gov.uk website.
How Long Does a Totting Up Ban Last?
A totting up ban typically lasts six months, although it can be longer if this is not your first disqualification. Additionally, if you are within the first two years of passing your driving test, accumulating just six penalty points will result in the revocation of your licence.
Drivers facing disqualification due to collecting 12 penalty points may need to prove exceptional hardship to get their ban overturned or reduced. Navigating this process can be complex, so it’s advisable to consult with a specialist solicitor who can provide tailored guidance and support.
