If you passed your driving test after 1st June 1997, you will have been subject to the New Driver Act (NDA).
Under this law, if you gain 6 or more penalty points within 2 years of passing your first driving test, your licence will be revoked. This means that you'll have to re-apply for a provisional licence, and re-take your theory test and driving test.
Below are a few questions I've been asked about this, and the answers:
- If I have points on my provisional licence, do they count after I pass my test?
Yes, they do. For example if you have 3 points on your provisional, and you pass your test, if you gain 3 more points, your licence will be revoked.
However if you have 6 or more points, you won't lose your licence as soon as you pass. However if you gain 1 more point in 2 years, your licence will be revoked.
- If I lose my licence because of the NDA, and I re-take my driving test, does the 2 years start over?
No, the NDA applies from your first driving test. This could also be when you passed your full motorcycle licence.
