It's even harder on new drivers over here.
Currently, there is a probation period of 2 years from the time you gain your licence. This means that within the 2 years following your pass, if you gain 6 points or more, you could have your licence revoked. In the event that this happens, you will need to reapply for your provisional licence and take your theory and practical test again. A revocation is different to a disqualification. Revocation means you can continue to drive under the terms of a provisional licence, a disqualification means you cannot drive at all.
