2 year rule

[Boydie]

just curious but you know if u recieve 6 points within ur first 2 years of driving and then u have to do ur theory and test again are your "R" plates definately on for another year as well as having a 2 year limit??

anyway of having the "R" plates on for a shorter period of time?

(im over my 2years if anyone starts askin questions )

 

[mr_ice_uk]

Yes AFAIK. Because if you get 6 points in 2 years you are disqualified from driving, so you have to start again.

 

[Porter]

yes indeed,

you are back to square one,

you have to aply for a provisional, then have the practical and theory( both parts)

speaking from experience

 

[djlee_dj]

can you apply for them / do them straight away porter ?

 

[Dermot]

Yes, Your Banned for a year!
Then have to Re-apply for your Provisinal (A Few weeks)
Resit the theory (And now hazard perception) (About 6 week waitin list)
Redo your test (6 week waitin list and need your theory first)

So techinally your off the road for about a year and a half!

 

[Porter]

u sure bout the year ban dermot?

 

[Boydie]

your not banned for a year

CPO2TER is correct

 

[Dermot]

Yeah Sorry, I forgot this topic is 6 Points within 2 years of passing your driving test! You just have to reapply for your Provisinal and Resit the test.. And when you pass your test you still have the 6 points on your licence...

Its 12 Points that you get 'Disqualified' ...

 

[Dermot]

The
Road Traffic ( New Drivers) Act 1995
This Act will affect you
if you pass your first driving test on or after 1 June 1997. If you incur
penalty points in the two year period immediately following your first successful
driving test, and your penalty points add up to 6 or more (including any
that were incurred within 3 years of the latest conviction) your licence
will be revoked by DVLA. You will then have to obtain a provisional licence,
drive as a learner and pass the theory and practical test again in order
to regain your full driving licence. Passing the re-test will not remove
the penalty points from your licence, and if the total reaches 12, you are
liable to be disqualified by a court.

There it is straight from a Road Law website...
