Not quite right.

You can also get penalty points on your provisional licence before you pass your test. These points last for three years and will count under the Act. If you reach six points before you’ve taken your test, your provisional licence won’t be taken away. But if you get any more points within two years of passing your test, you will lose your licence.


Bold is my emphasis.

Yeah, Ignore Hardball. He is only right if you intend to retain your provisional forever and not apply for a car or bike test.

12 points on a provisional normally means a ban. 12 points on a full licence, after probationary period normally means a ban (unless you have extenuating circumstances).

6 points, pass car or bike test, enter 2 year probationary period and just one more point means you win yourself a bicycle.
