What is the consequence of a driver receiving 6 points on their license within two years of passing their test?

Receiving 6 points on a driver's license within two years of passing their driving test leads to the revocation of the license. This is part of the ‘New Drivers Act’ in the UK, which imposes a probationary period for new drivers lasting for two years. If a new driver accumulates 6 points or more during this time, their driving privileges are revoked, meaning they must apply for a new provisional license and retake both the theory and practical driving exams to obtain a full license again.

This consequence is designed to enforce responsible driving behavior among new drivers and to ensure that those who may exhibit risky driving practices are given a second chance under stricter conditions.
