Points count from time of offence,not when paid.I thought I'd check my points to see when they expired,was told May and Oct this year.They expire 2 years after offence not when paid.

They will usually send bailiff or cop to pick up your license,well they did when Janine lost hers 2 years ago,but can't remember if the 3 months is from when they take the license or at ticket time.They need a warrant to remove your license was what bailiff told us,hence the delay to take it rather than when cop does his coms check.

Have a looksie at LTSA website,or phone the licensing dept of police.

Bugger.Three months goes quick after first month,first one draaaaggggs.

There are a few other things as well. If you get 100 or more points in ANY 2 year period they dont drop off.
Yes you can delay it abit by waiting till the last day to pay ticket but they are calculated from offence date. Its 3 month suspension.

We run a report once a week, if you are over then we print the suspension letter, it goes to Auckland to Baycorp as we use their serving officers. Then back down to serving agent here for the person to be served.

They are required to take your licence from you. If they can't find you after trying 3 times,then it comes back to us and a Person of Interest flag goes onto your licence. Only at this stage if a cop pulls you up can they serve you roadside.

As I mentioned to Cowboyz last night it can take at least a month to be served once tickets have been paid, especially as he can delayed for next 2 months before paying.

.

Cool so many people(me included)get different scenarios from this,i.e if you have 90 points,get another 40(130) in say 18months,you walk for 3 months,but upon getting license back start on 30 points,and these stay till 2 years are up from time of ticket.
