    why would you want too, even if you had 9 expired points they are of no prejudice once expiered.

    My points were removed automaticly when I upgraded my licence for HGV entitlement.... wouldnt have bothered otherwise.

    It depends on the insurance co. Every one else says 3 years, insurance say 4 - 5 years. Once you have them you can not "Pay to have them taken off" you have to wait until they expire.

    You may also want to know the picture licences have an expiry date. So do check yours.

    Sam,

    If you can then you should - it becomes vital as you get older and find there isn't an OH to provide those lifts.

    As I have to shut my eyes when a car comes near us in the dark .... me driving would never be a safe option!!

    We have two children doing driving lessons at the moment, with the 3rd starting next year ...... so there will always be plenty of people to drive me around lol

    Apart from going to garden centres which are further away, everything i need is within walking distance which is why we moved to where we live now (5 mins walk from town centre). My mum is 10 mins walk away, work is less then 10 mins and Asda is about 3 minutes away.

    Now I just need to get one of the children really interested in gardening when they are older and then I will be sorted :)
