If your licence was indeed revoked, then it does NOT run out in 2022 - it died in 2015.

You are starting from scratch. You need a current photo and your current address. I believe the fee for a provisional is now £43, but DVLA is not accepting applications at present unless you're a key worker.

If the OP held a full licence before revocation and it wasn't under the new divers rule they'll get a full licence back. So no need to talk about starting form scratch with a provisional.

No they’re not starting from scratch with a provisional unless they were disqualified under the new driver rule. 

Their entitlement is still there and they’re applying for a new full licence.

Was the OP's licence really "revoked"? Under what legislation?

The only revocation I'm aware of is the new driver 2yr rule (which is a revocation, not a disqualification).

And "failing to hand licence in for points" would certainly hit the six point cap.

So you get three points and fail to surrender your licence. How does that become six points?

There's also revocation because of disability. However, I agree that the new driver law is the most likely explanation for the OP's predicament. In which case, my original reply stands. New provisional licence and tests required.

Sorry but on the information to hand you're wrong.

Medical, new drivers act, issued in error and fail to surrender for points are the four reasons to revoke a driving licence.

I think section 99 covers them all.

Quite easily.
The 3 points for a speeding offence is the minimum that can be given and not the maximum.
If you get a fixed penalty of 3 points and a fine for an SP30 then fail to send your licence off, the fixed penalty is deemed not to have been accepted by the driver.
When this happens, the court could easily decide to issue the maximum of 6 points for the offence.

First off if the speed warranted six points on endorsement a fixed penalty is unlikely to be issued. What I was getting at is why would three points most certainly become six just because you failed to surrender the licence for points?
