Driving Licence Endorsement Codes in the UK
A UK driving licence is usually endorsed by court order when a driver is convicted of a driving offence (or incorrectly operating a vehicle). These endorsements can also be associated with a fixed or discretionary amount of points which remain on the licence for periods of up to 12 years. If a totting up of the total current points on a licence reaches 12 the driver will often receive a driving ban for a period of time.
