The Road Traffic (New Drivers) (NI) Order 1998

The Road Traffic (New Drivers) (NI) Order 1998 will affect you if you passed your first driving test on or after 14 December 1998. If you incur penalty points in the two year period immediately following your first successful driving test, and your penalty points add up to 6 or more (including any that were incurred within 3 years of the latest conviction) your licence will be revoked by DVA. You will then have to obtain a provisional licence, drive as a learner and pass the theory and practical test again in order to regain your full driving licence.

If you held both full motorcycle and car entitlement prior to revocation, passing either test again will restore both entitlements

Passing the retest will not remove the penalty points from your licence, and if the total reaches 12, you are liable to be disqualified by a court .
