A mate of mine past his test last year and has since got 6 points for speeding and use of mobile while driving.His licence has been REVOKED and he says all he has to do is pass his test again and he gets it back.I thought you were banned for 6 months under the totting up rule then you take a re-test.The way he,s talking, it's only going to take 6 weeks for him to pass his test and be driving again.

 

it happened to me and he is right, he can go in for his test tomorrow, provided he passes his theory 1st

 

It depends whether his licence is revoked or he has a ban imposed.

DVLA / Court will decide.

But when he does pass or gets his licence back, the new driver rule doesn't apply a second time.

Just noticed it said REVOKED, he just takes a test.

 

So his license can't be revoked a second time then??

 

But i bet his insurance will be sky high.He was paying Ł1100 tpff before on a 1.6 16v p reg escort worth Ł400.

 

correct, it only applies once..after this he will have to accumilate 12 points. unless he gats banned for something else in the meantime

 

And when you pass you start to learn how to drive.

Doesn't sound like your mate's starting a great driving career though . I would assume he will have 6 points on his lisence when he gets it back and there will also be a code on there for the lisence being revoked?

 

Already one Ladyman DVLA mouthpiece, don't need another...

 

yeah 6 points or more in 2years after passing your test and you get licence revoved, all you have to do is apply for provisonal and it your tests again

 

i got mine revoked last july..... was gonna take my test after id zetec'd the fiesta....

still no where near
