    Their licence remains valid, but they receive a formal warning that reaching twelve penalty points will result in disqualification.
  3. Their licence will be revoked, and they must obtain a provisional licence and pass both the theory and practical tests again.Cevap
  4. D
    Their licence is revoked, but they only need to retake and pass the practical driving test to regain full entitlement.

Cevap

The driver's licence will be revoked, and they must obtain a provisional driving licence and successfully pass both the theory and practical driving tests again.
Under the Road Traffic (New Drivers) Act 1995, drivers are on probation for two years from the day they pass their first practical test. If six or more penalty points are incurred within this timeframe, the DVLA will revoke their licence. The motorist reverts to learner status, must apply for a provisional licence, drive only under learner supervision with L plates, and pass both the theory test and practical test before obtaining a full licence again.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the driver's probationary status and accumulated penalty points.
The driver has reached six penalty points within the two-year window following their initial practical test pass.
Under the Road Traffic (New Drivers) Act 1995, motorists are subject to a two-year probationary period from the date they pass their first driving test.
2
Determine the statutory penalty for reaching the threshold.
The DVLA revokes the driver's full driving licence.
Accumulating six or more penalty points during the probationary period triggers mandatory revocation rather than a simple suspension or fine.
3
Identify the legal requirements to regain a full driving licence.
The driver must apply for a new provisional licence and pass both the theory and practical tests again.
Revocation cancels full driving entitlement, returning the driver to learner status until both testing elements are retaken and passed.
