Penalty Points

It can vary from 7 to 56 days in most cases but in extreme cases, could be as long as 120 days.

The range of penalty points is 3–6 but in certain circumstances, the Court will impose an immediate disqualification and no points. However, if you already have 6 or more points on your licence and the speed alleged is so high that you would normally face an instant disqualification, the probability is that the Court will impose 6 points which would make your total 12 or more and you would face a totting up ban of 6 months.

Penalty points are valid for 3 years from the date of conviction but cannot be removed from your driving licence until their fourth anniversary. If you amass 12 points in any 3 year period, you face disqualification.
