Hi i have recently been to Oz i got a letter through today i was just wondering do they transfer the Points to my UK licence. I am now in the UK Much help would be appreciated. Oh and i wasnt driving the vehicle

No. They don't transfer. Well they didn't when my husband was caught speeding 3 years ago.

The answer is no, they don't transfer points to a UK licence.

But if you were not driving, you can advise them of who was, and you don't get the financial penalty either.

Otherwise, if you return to Australia, and get an Aussie licence later, you 'may' get the points then.

In Victoria the points are assigned to a unique number (linked to your UK license details) and held for 3 years. If you apply for a Victorian license (within those 3 years) the points are transferred over automatically. The big issue is if you dont tell them and they have it in front of them its even bigger trouble for you

So say i dont ever go back to australia what will happen. in 3 yrs time i will have 3 points on my licence is that what your saying.

If you dont ever go back to Australia or decide to postpone getting a license for 3 years it will not affect you.

As this site is mainly for people emigrating to foreign shores, one would easily assume that your trip was for purposes of moving there and therefore my post could of been interest too you.

Consider this on your initial question

Different countries have different speed limits and different demerit points/schemes. How easy would it be too translate
