Totting Up

If you have accumulated 12 or more points on your driving licence irrespective of the offences in the last three years, you will face a mandatory minimum 6 month driving ban. This process is known as ‘totting up’.

You will be summoned to court where a decision will be made in respect of the length of ban to impose on you. This is where the nature of your offences will be taken into account. It is essential to have legal representation as it may save your licence and you may avoid a driving ban completely.
