All the evidence you require has been given to you which you could have sourced yourself so why not now make up your own mind.

Endorsements must remain on a licence for 11 years from date of conviction if the offence is:
* drinking/drugs and driving (shown on the licence as DR10, DR20, DR30 and DR80)
* causing death by careless driving whilst under the influence of drink/drugs (shown on the licence as CD40, CD50 and CD60)
* causing death by careless driving, then failing to provide a specimen for analysis (shown on the licence as CD70)
Endorsements must remain on a licence for four years from date of conviction if the offence is:
* reckless/dangerous driving (shown on the licence as DD40, DD60 and DD80)
* offences resulting in disqualification
* disqualified from holding a full licence until a driving test has been passed
The three years comes from the totting up process and the 5 is what insurance companies usually ask for.

A pal of mine was stopped by a policeman, for speeding. He gave him a swift telling off, and asked to see his driving licence. On seeing a long list of points dating back ten years or more (but non current) he told my friend to send his licence off to get a new, clean one back as most policemen would give somebody with a record like that a ticket.

>>How long do points for speeding stay on your licence for?
So the answer is really 3 or 5 3 for totting up and 5 for the robbing insurance companies
>>>> So at what point can you say you've got a clean licence? After 4 years?
From the previously surplied link
"Endorsements must remain on a licence for four years from the date of offence in all other cases."
So IMO the points stay on your licence for 4 years. I have just got a new licence in order to show anyone a "clean" one now that my SP30 is 4 years old.

As others have stated - 3 years for totting up, 4 years on the licence and 5 years for informing insurers.
I've never bothered having endorsements from '73, '83 and '93 removed. If you're stopped and it's that marginal whether you get a ticket or a verbal warning then it probably matters more which side of bed the officer got out of that morning!
Looking at the above, I'm probably overdue for another one!

Is it 3 / 4 years after the date of the offence or after the date of conviction?
My 3 points show on my licence from the date of offence. But then, there was no conviction.

dulwich -
click the two links provided above by lescargot and andy bairsto.
then look for the three categories -
11 years from date of conviction if the offence is: ....
four years from date of conviction if the offence is: ....
four years from the date of offence in all other cases. ...
as for the point made by mapmaker:
[>> On seeing a long list of points dating back ten years or more (but non current) he told my friend to send his licence off to get a new, clean one back as most policemen would give somebody with a record like that a ticket.]
i know someone who has just a couple of endorsements going back more than 15 years. he thinks that it positively helps to keep them on as it demonstrates that he has reformed his driving behaviour since those points so many years ago.
