What Are Accident Offence Convictions?
Accident offence codes start with AC. They cover failing to stop after an accident, failing to give your details or report it within 24 hours, and undefined accident offences (AC30). Points run from 4 to 10 depending on the code, and each stays on your driving record for 4 years.

Each code below shows its points and how long it stays on your record, with a link to its own page.
4 years runs from the date of the offence, or from the date of conviction if you were banned.
Not sure which code you have? It's on your driving record, which you can check on GOV.UK's view your driving licence service, or see the full list of motoring conviction codes.
Got a Northern Ireland licence? Your codes look different, so check them on nidirect's view your NI driving licence service.
