List of UK driving licence endorsements

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

UK driving licences may be endorsed by order of the courts if the driver has been convicted of an offence
concerned with driving or operating a vehicle. An endorsement may also be accompanied by a number of points
which can remain on the licence for up to 12 years. If the total of points on a licence equals or exceeds 12, the
courts may decide to ban a driver for a period of time. The list below, does not apply to Northern Ireland, see
