Provisional licence/new driver, how many points allowed?
There are special rules that apply to drivers and motorcyclists who have just passed their test with regards to penalty points
If you obtain 6 or more penalty points from the date of passing your driving test you automatically face having your licence revoked and will be required to apply for a provisional licence again and only be allowed to drive on the road as a learner driver. These rules also apply to drivers from foreign countries, especially where the foreign driver exchanges to a UK licence but then passes the test to drive a different classification of vehicle, such as an HGV.
