I’ve heard that if I accumulate a certain number of penalty points (for speeding and/or other motoring offences) I can be banned from driving under the “totting up” rule. How does that work?
If you accumulate 12 (or more) penalty points within a 3 year period, you will be disqualified from driving for six months. If, after that, you begin driving again and get even more penalty points, then things will get even worse for you: If you get a second “totting up” disqualification within 3 years, then that disqualification will be for a year. If you then go on to get a third disqualification within 3 years, you will be facing a two year ban.
