If you friend takes the fixed penalty and the 6 points she will have her licence revoked and will have to do a full retest.
If she has accepted the ticket and paid the fine its too late to help.
The only chance she has is to reject the ticket and take the matter to court. At court she will have to try and persuade the court to give her a short ban rather than the points. If she succeeds she will avoid revocation.
