Non-endorsable offences
Some offences are non-endorsable. A non-endorsable
offence is an offence which courts do not endorse onto your
paper counterpart. No penalty points are attributed to
these offences but they carry a period of
disqualification.
At the end of the disqualification (over 56 days) you
will have to apply for a renewal licence together with the
appropriate fee.
The following codes seem to have fallen off the
Government web site but I'm sure that they are still valid.
PL10 Driving without 'L' plates
PL20 Not accompanied by a qualified person
PL30 Carrying a person not qualified
PL40 Drawing an unauthorised trailer
PL50 Undefined failure to comply with conditions of Provisional
Licence
