Cevap

Their licence will be revoked and they must reapply for a provisional licence and pass both tests again
Under the Road Traffic (New Drivers) Act 1995, drivers who gain six or more penalty points within two years of passing their first driving test have their licence revoked. To regain a full driving licence, they must revert to learner status by applying for a provisional licence, drive under learner restrictions with 'L' plates, and successfully pass both the theory and practical driving tests again.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the statutory framework and probationary timeframe
The Road Traffic (New Drivers) Act applies for two years from the date of passing the first practical driving test.
New drivers are subject to special probationary rules during their first two years on a full licence.
2
Determine the penalty point threshold and legal consequence
Reaching 6 or more penalty points triggers mandatory revocation of the full driving licence by the DVLA.
The threshold for new drivers is 6 points, compared to the standard 12 points for experienced drivers.
3
Identify the requirements to regain a full licence
The driver must obtain a new provisional licence and pass both the theory test and the practical test again.
Revocation cancels the full licence entirely rather than imposing a temporary suspension.
