Cevap

Apply for a provisional licence and pass both the theory and practical driving tests again
Under the Road Traffic (New Drivers) Act 1995, if a driver accumulates six or more penalty points within two years of passing their first driving test, their full licence is revoked. To regain a full driving licence, the driver must reapply for a provisional driving licence, drive under learner restrictions displaying 'L' plates with an accompanying supervising driver, and successfully pass both the theory and practical driving tests again.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the legal consequences of reaching six penalty points within two years of passing the driving test.
Under the Road Traffic (New Drivers) Act 1995, reaching six or more points results in the revocation of the full driving licence.
The probationary period sets a lower threshold to encourage safe driving habits among newly qualified drivers.
2
Determine the statutory requirements to regain a full licence after revocation.
The driver reverts to provisional licence holder status and must apply for a new provisional licence, comply with all learner driver rules, and pass both parts of the driving examination.
Revocation cancels the full licence entirely rather than temporarily suspending it, requiring a complete re-qualification process.
