What are the rules on 'totting up' points ?

I ask because I got flashed by a speed camera when coming back home the other day -
it was 10 mins to 1 in the morning & I was a bit tired & 'forgot' about the damn camera down the road .

I passed my car test sometime back in the 1980's , but only took my DAS in May 2004.
I already have 3 points (Oct 2003 - speeding on a scooter ) and now look like I'm about to get another 3

I seem to remember that if you clock up 6 points within 2 years of passing your test, you have to retake it - anyone know if that is correct

it is corect for a new rider under 21 like me.. but im not sure about you

2 years from the date of your FIRST test. You should be fine. As it were.

You have had you licence since the 80's all you did was add a catagory to is when you did your DAS for the bike. As far as I know I shouldn't affect you.

the 6 point rule is only for "new" licences - what if you already had 3 (or even 6) points on your licence when you got your DAS ??

You should be fine, and old men like you should slow down a bit

I did have (and still have!) 6 points on my licence when I passed my DAS and they still sent my licence back to me with the correct additions...

As jelster says its not a new licence just and added category so that doesnt apply. Lucky they dont remove categories for us mature...no, older ...riders

You'd only fall over and hurt yourself (again)
