Good afternoon
Quick question
I've got 9points on my license with 3 of them to be taken off this year
Will this stop me for doing my HGV license?

I’ve seen jobs that have said they’d accept 9pts
But would guess they are few and far between

and almost definitely only coupled with drivers with years pf experience,
I doubt any company would go anywhere near a new pass driver with anything more than 3 points, and even then they would only consider it if the points were for something as trivial as speeding!!

I only remember it because it shocked me
3 months experience
9 pts
How desperate were they

Hi… if you’ve not applied for your LGV provisional licence yet.. you may be asked to send a letter to your local Traffic Commissioner to justify why they should issue you one,

Shouldn't stop you doing your tests...May be a problem for certain employers though! Just shop around 'till you find one!

A lot of companies insist on no more than 6 points. Usually it’s down to their insurance provider.

Most companies want 6 or less… you may have a harder time just getting a job.

Does the 6 point 2 year rule apply if you have just past you HGV test? 6 points and you lose your licence and have to do it all over again, or is this just for new drivers?
