can anyone shed some light on probation period for licience

[HEMMO R5T]

im on my 2 years probation period for new drivers, i have clocked up 6 points.
i handed my licience in, today it has came back through the post with 6 points marked on my counter-part.
i was under the impression that as i have got 6 points in 2 years that my licience will be revoked and ordered to take a retest on both theory and practical...am i right in thinking this or is it once you go over the 6 points is when it is revoked?

Yep 6 points in two years, you will get a letter soon, person I work with got their licence back with 6 points then a week later got the letter saying hand your licence in and go take a retest of it all.

thanx pal, was thinking that i would have to take a retest...does points increase your insurance premiums massively?

Depends on what the points are for, I know the first 3 points for speeding dont count for much. I got stung on insurance as I got 5 points for careless driving when I was 18 and they stay on for 4 years on the licence. But loosing the licence and retaking im guessing is going to sting a lot as well. Think person I work with was only paying 750 for his corsa 1.2 and that is now going to go up to 1300 when he passes his test, got caught speeding twice :crap: and both were within a month of each other and about 2 months till the 2 year period was up

i failed to pay a months insurance, thought i had enough in my bank, drove work minding my own business, then blues n twos in my mirror, told my car wasnt showing up with insurance.

later found out that sky had taken £150 out my bank a day before my insurance was due :cry:
