What are the rules for New Drivers?
Although you would still be subject to a totting up ban when reaching 12 points, your licence is also revoked for reaching 6 penalty points within the first 2 years of passing your first full driving test. Consequently, in extreme circumstances, a new driver could both be banned under the totting up system and have their licence revoked, meaning that once the ban is served, they would still have to take the test again.
