New Drivers Act

It is vital for the driver who has successfully completed a course of driving lessons with the Bill Plant School of motoring and has passed both the theoretical and practical driving test that it is not all over, not yet anyway. Effectively all new drivers are on a probationary period for two years from passing their driving test, and if during this period they accumulate six or more penalty points, automatic disqualification will occur and their precious driving licence will be revoked. Any penalty point that might have been collected before passing the driving test also count, remember these are still valid.

Should this unfortunate event occur, a couple of speeding cameras for example, you will have to re-apply for your driving licence as a learner driver and re-sit your driving test. It is important to remember that passing the re-test does not remove the penalty points from your driving licence these penalty points remain valid, although your driving licence can only be revoked once under the provisions of the act.
