You could change the cars owner to your son or just park it down the road and say you don't own a car, the baliff won't know that you own a car unless he/she has seen you driving it and it should be a court baliff who knocks on the door not a private baliff and they tend to be more amenable as they are salaried and have no profit to make.

I'm staggered that you can work the internet, let alone drive a car.

Please stop before someone gets properly hurt.

The points will be on the DVLA database and you may have commited a further offence by not surrendering your licence for the points relating to this offence, you will now be on 9 points which is not a ban but if you have 3 points from the previous offence and they still have a year to run then your going to have to be very very careful for the next year until those points drop off but i would seriously advise contacting the DVLA and getting a clear picture of what is or is not on your licence as this situation could get out of control pretty quickly.

Points are 4 years from date of offence and the DVLA would have sent you a letter to tell you that you were no longer the registered keeper..no letter means your name is still on the V5.

Points are only counted for 3 years, they remain on your licence for 4 years but they are not valid after 3.

As far as bailiffs are concerned it doesn't matter who is on the logbook to the golf, that only means your the keeper not the owner, just tell them it is your sons car and he has it for when he is ready to learn to drive and that your using it, that for insurance purposes you are the registered keeper as a lot of insurers won't cover you if your not registered on the logbook.

Points stay on for 11 years for serious offences..drink driving/causing death etc, 4 years from date of conviction for reckless driving and offences that result in disqualification and 4 years from date of offence for all other offences.
with exception to the 11 point offences, they are 'spent' after 3 years but remain on the licence for 4 years.

A bloke I work with drove his car pissed out his head, crashed into 2 cars a lamppost and a Chinese restaurant, ended up on his roof with the boot on top of a car and the bonnet through the window of the Chinese with the car off the ground, amazingly lived and didn't get hurt apart from a large cut on his head, checked to see if he hit anyone, he hadn't and done a runner, police went to his house and called him an ambulance, they couldn't breathalys him at the time so did it 4 hours later in hospital, he was still 5 times over the limit, that was just over 4 years ago and he has had his points removed already.
