Dosn't it depend on what you got the points for?

THIS IS THE OFFICIAL LINE (just rang DVLA )
The points are valid for 3 years, then physically come off your license after 4

I have to tell my insurance - had them 3.5 years at last renewal - although their affect must be minimal
Can get them taken off my license in February 2007; but they're no longer effective points
