Facing penalties

You can be given penalty points for offences like speeding even if you're on a provisional licence. If you reach six or more penalty points within two years of passing your driving test, the DVLA will automatically cancel your driving licence. Any penalty points you received before passing the test also count towards this total of six, if the offence happened within three years of the latest penalty point offence. Passing the retest doesn't remove penalty points from your licence, and if the total reaches 12, you are liable to be disqualified from driving.
