Hi,
I had a quick question about licence points. I've had my car licence for 10 years, unfortunatly I have 3 points on it Sad. I have just passed my direct access and I heard something about i'm only allowed 6 points on a new licence. Is this classed as a new licence even though I've held the car licence for 10 years? I dont want to risk getting banned from driving by getting another 3 points on my bike licence!
Thanks
Lee

I believe the 6 point rule only counts on your first full licence.

It's the same license, with an added entitlement. You won't lose it for gaining 6 points. I'm pretty sure it's new riders/drivers.

On your first entitlement only so nothing to worry about.

Sweet thanks. How did you guys find that out? I've looked through the direct.gov website and cant seem to find it anywhere.

Hi

On the gov site:-

https://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/LearnerAndNewDrivers/NewlyQualifiedDrivers/DG_4022566

Quote:
If you have held a full driving licence for two years, the Act doesn’t apply. For example, there isn’t another probation period if you already have a full car licence and pass a test in another category, like lorry. But you need to have passed both tests in one of the countries listed above.


All the best

Keith
