I hope you get banned for a long time and your insurance prices are horrendous in the future.

People like you seriously piss me off. And yes I think 6 points on a prOvisional is a ban.

Enjoy the bus.

Having your licence revoked for totting up 6 points is not the same as being banned.

If you had passed your test then you would have your licence revoked and you could apply for a new provisional as soon as possible.

As you've not passed your test you won't be banned.

well that would be no issue, would it ? as the insurance company would of breached its own T&C as they MUST give notice of intent to cancel, this case is totally difference he KNEW DAMN WELL he was not insured but that did not stop him from taking his bike on public roads!

Pfft, I've ridden with no insurance before, I've ridden it to a back entrance to a garden using public roads. Quite possible they would do me for it... but I'd probably talk my way out of it.

Okay I don't know the OP's story but some info from my experiences..

I'm 22 now, with full car + bike licenses.

I got my provisional 6 years ago when I was 16. On that license, I accumulated 9 points:

6 for no insurance (pushing my dirt bike home from the motocross track, power crazed cop said the wheels can't touch the footpath, even though my helmet was on the bars, fuel was off, HT lead was off, kill switch off etc... They just went OTT and took the bike off me, took me to court and gave me 6 points.)

3 on my scooter for not having an L-plate on the front of it.

All technically my fault but still kinda not..?

Anyway, that was 9 points before I'd passed my test. When I did pass when I was 17, the points just carried over, no ban or anything.

At the time it was my understanding, from what I'd been told, that there was no upper limit to the points you can build up on a provisional license, they just carry over when you pass and allow insurance to bum you.

But it was something like 6 points incurred after passing your test, or within the first 2 years, meant a revoke or retest or whatever.

thanks for the replies Thumbs Up

and yes my insurance knows Thumbs Up

just to clear things up,i sent my provisional and the £200 postal order to the fixed penalty office 2 weeks ago, today i got a letter in the post saying the matter was going to be referred to court because they had not heard from me, so i phoned the fixed penalty office and asked what was going on, the guy on the phone said they had received the payment and my license and to ignore the letter i got today and said they sent my provisional license to the dvla because i was going to get a ban

thanks Smile

I think at least one of you is muddling their terminology.

License revoked: you don't have a license any more. You have to start over and do an extended re-test. This only applies to full licenses, not provisional entitlement.

Disqualification (ban): you're told that you can't drive or ride anything for some fixed period of time. This is a completely independent punishment to license endorsement or revocation and AFAIK can only be imposed by a court.

Unless... you don't by any chance have car (category B) entitlement on your license, do you? Have you passed any tests?
