Factually if you receive 6 points or more (likely), you will not be banned but DVLA will revoke your driving licence.
You are free to book the theory and then the practical test as quickly as you can find available dates.
There may well be a ‘have you ever had your licence revoked?’ question asked, come the next insurance application.You are free to book the theory and then the practical test as quickly as you can find available dates.

Would you be allowed to take the test sans licence? Iirc you have to show it when you take your test, though admittedly I took mine in the last millennium.You are free to book the theory and then the practical test as quickly as you can find available dates.

Correct, that's the case for 6 points in your first 2 years. That said, the wait for a test can be long these days.You are free to book the theory and then the practical test as quickly as you can find available dates.
Without knowing the time of day, weather, and road conditions it’s hard to gauge where you sit on the scale of unlucky to stupid.
The fact the police let you continue driving for a bit and didn’t immediately blues and twos you suggests you weren’t off the scale stupid… if the risks you were taking were THAT dangerous, I’d hope the police aim to stop you quickly, not after following you for some time.
But by god are there some holier than thou posters on this thread.

Yes, some people are very judgemental!The fact the police let you continue driving for a bit and didn’t immediately blues and twos you suggests you weren’t off the scale stupid… if the risks you were taking were THAT dangerous, I’d hope the police aim to stop you quickly, not after following you for some time.

I won't judge, I've done worse.
Ban almost certainly, but not the end of the world. Be more careful in future.
A fair response.Ban almost certainly, but not the end of the world. Be more careful in future.
I was pulled for 56 in a 30 4 days after I passed my test in 1989.
It certainly slowed me down and might even of prevented something far worse in the future.
I loved that Fiesta Supersport....
Never had points since.

I know this is Pistonheads and I know we've all made mistakes - but 110mph in a 50mph zone and not noticing someone following you at that speed - after having your license for 10 months is next level for me. And probably why the new rules have been introduced.
Absolutely agree, driving like that while unaware of your surroundings is bloody stupid and I have no sympathy for the op.For clarity, my point about people being judgemental was slightly sarcastic, and directed at stuthe
calling people holier than thou, but I think it went over his head.Cue the usual suspects saying speed limits are for generating revenue, it's not necessarily dangerous, it's an arbitrary number on a pole, they're set for the idiots blah blah blah.
If a genuine story the OP never learnt a thing from driving lessons and passing the test but now finds themselves back at square one with an L plate and and in need of a driving instructor.
As for future insurance premiums, getting reckless tard slapped across their driving record for a revoked licenced probably makes them uninsurable if they manage to pass the test again.

Could be wrong but I think if you get more than 6 points in the first 2 years of driving your license is revoked & you have to retake your theory and practical test once any ban has finished.
By the sound of it that's no bad thing as it should keep you off the road for some time!
6 or more points. Not more than 6 points.By the sound of it that's no bad thing as it should keep you off the road for some time!
That’s incorrect, you’re confusing revocation and retest with a ban.
For a ‘new driver’ a ban 56+ days means revocation but no retest.
Under 56 days means no revocation, no retest.
