6 points on my provisional licence
I have a provisional license on which I have 6 points for driving uninsured. The points expire x 2011 but I am due to take my practical drving test in August '10. I have been told that if I pass then or before x'11, I will loose my license because I have the 6 points, and have to re take my theory and practical again! Is this true?? Thank you for your help.

If you incur the points before you pass your test then you wont be revoked. You have been misadvised. You only lose your licence if you accumulate 6 or more points during your probationary period. Once you pass you test you will have to be really careful because anything else in the first two years and you will be revoked.
Hope that puts your mind at rest.
