revoked license
Discussion
just wonder what you guys think , cause i aint to sure myself.
passed my test july 2010
i got 3 points in january 2012 and then got pulled for a driving offence in feburary
which later resulted in going to court in august (last week) and getting found guilty and getting another 6points.
i assumed my 2 year probation was up in july , but i then got letter from dvla 2 days later saying i should post both parts of license to them as its being revoked 5 days after this letter was posted out , and states that i have went over my 6 points probation in the 2 years ,
does that mean they have backdated it to the offence happening in feburary , rather than the conviction date august ?
also states on letter that i didnt produce license at court , but they never asked for anything and just said dvla will contact you shortly .
tried to phone them today to see if it has been backdated , but was closed .
anyone able to enlighten me ?

I assumed it was a typo. He passed his test in July 2010 and then got 3 points on his licence in January 2012 and then went to court in August 2012 and was given another 6 points, however these 6 points were backdated to February, meaning he had aquired 9 points within 2 years of passing and as such he was banned. passed my test july 2012

Really, given insurance companies propensity to increase premiums, avoid payouts, etc. I find that hard to believe. Revocation is just another means of losing a licence by fault, so what is the difference here?RedWhiteMonkey said:

It's not a ban; it's as if the test hasn't been passed at all. the_kato said:
As above. It's the date of the offence. Not the conviction
Yeah you don't have to tell the insurance company you're revoked until test passed, but I reckon the 9 points will do your legs enough
yeah i understand i was getting quotes of 8k with 9points , but i knew i couldnt afford itand would have to wait , just the part of resitting my test etc is a bYeah you don't have to tell the insurance company you're revoked until test passed, but I reckon the 9 points will do your legs enough

It's not a ban; it's as if the test hasn't been passed at all. It seems such a shame after you've gone through all the crap you need to these days to obtain a licence in the first place, something that most people on here, myself included, didn't have to do.
We also didn't have to suffer all the enforcement crap, mainly the automated stuff, that is around now.
But, the system now is what it is, I can't see a return to sense any time soon, (you should see what youngsters wanting a bike licence are going to have to do from next year!).
Maybe after you've gone through all the crap a second time, and had the period where insurers are going to rape you, you'll learn where and when, and how not to get caught etc.
You could perhaps go bikey for a while, you'll be able to use a 125cc, on L plates, and still get around, insurance is much more sensible for youngsters on bikes rather than a car.
Good luck ( and FFS, get your provisional back first, and don't be tempted to drive/ride until you have, because you are very likely to get caught).

This place isn't a service is it? The bloke is unable to follow the rules of the road, maybe some time off it would help him gain a greater appreciation of what a driving license entails.
9 points in 2 years ! that doesn't bodes well. appreciate wrong time at wrong place perhaps, but perhaps you may want to take a look at the Highway Code and abide by the rules everyone else has to.
