lets say i have held my car licence for 10 years and i have just passed my test on the bike , and after 2 months i have earned 6 points , as a new rider will i lose my licence, but would you also lose your car licence to ,
and if i were to lose the car licence can i still ride the bike , after all its 2 tests 2 insurance 2 road tax, etc
just somthing that came up on another forum

are the six points on your bike. if so i think you'll lose your bike licence.hope i'm wrong.

Hi all,

Your bike licence is a vocational or add-on category. 6 points goes onto your main licence. So, when you get 12 points you get banned. If you have that many you can't drive your car nor your bike fella...

but what i was trying to say was whaen youv just passed your test on a bike you have probation dor a year i think ind you are only aloud 6 points

not if you already have a full car licence that you have held for more than a year

as i understand it that is....

ie, you have the full 12 points to play with

Think thats right as er did we not go into all the details when I got my points

i was trying to spare your blushes jadaris

and i was surprised - I did not think an SV could do that speed.....

What are these "points" of which people speak














That's probably gone and done it now

the goverment set tasks and you get a point every time you reach them , points mean prized

Typically down here in the antipodes where everything is upside down, we get a start of 12 points then work our way to zero. Get to 0 then 0 license, kinda makes sense.

When I was commuting in London I managed to get to 15 before they took my license away, so would that go to -3 over here

The probationary period is 2 years, but it only applies to the first full licence obtained.

So in this case, if you have held your car licence for 10 years, pass your bike test and then pick up 6 points in that first 2 years, you will not lose your licence.

If you only had your bike licence and had passed your test within 2 years and picked up 6 points, then you would revert back to being a learner and have to go through the whole L test process again.

cheers tc that makes sence ,
