Yes he will have to retake his driving test, 6 points in the first two years.

Link for information

Wow!
So he has to stop driving with immediate affect and is now classed as a provisional driver needing to retake both parts of the test.

There are a few young drivers who speed through my village. Where are the police when you need them.

Be careful, giving false information to avoid a speeding ban can result in a prison sentence!

No rikki, once he has been convicted his licence will be revoked. He can still drive until a court takes his license from him or informs him of his ban and that he has to resit his test.

Could someone else have been driving when one of the speeding offences occurred?

Thats an absolutely great idea. I believe there was an elderly gentleman spent some time in jail recently for taking the blame for a 3 point speeding conviction for his son(1st offence, never been in trouble a day in his life).

It is not a ban. It is revocation of the licence.

He would be better off going to court rather that paying the fine.
He could then argue for a reduction on the points to allow him to keep the vehicle .This would require him to argue his case for the vehicle being essential.
Maybe 2 points and a bigger fine.

And it is a good thing as he'll think more carefully about his speed in future. I can't believe the two times he was caught were the only times he was speeding either - and having just passed his test he should know better.

Disgusting. He should take it on the chin. If the use of the vehicle was essential he should have thought about that before breaking the law, rather than got to court afterwards crying.

The OP was asking for advice ...
We should leave the judgement to the courts .
