Disqualified after passing driving test?

iolanthe07

he was caught driving a car and was given 7 points for driving uninsured and on provisional licence

Sounds like the little toe-rag shouldn't be on the road anyway.

Well said, totally agree! :T

But wouldn't he know he's banned before he takes his test ? They would have written to him. But there is a difference of opinion on here and he should contact the dvla directly

Hardly sounds like a deterrent. You commit a driving offence, but because you don't have a licence yet, you're not really punished.

If commits another road offence in the next four year is licence will be revoked.

Why?

The system is that newly passed drivers are on 2 years probation, and if they hit 6 or more points during that 2 year period they get their licence revoked.

(And 6 or more points on your licence prior to passing your test don't mean you are immediately revoked - you get one more "life", so if you manage to avoid any points during the 2 years probation you won't suffer a revocation)

I think often they go for wierd points arrangements because certain charges have greater punishments - i.e. a 14 year old gets a 2 year ban so that they can go for a greater charge, even though the ban alone is pointless.
