PASSED YOUR DRIVING TEST? Don't lose your licence

- Passed your driving test? Don't lose your driving licence. After you pass the UK driving test you are on a 2 year probation period to not accumulate 6 points on your driving licence. If you do accumulate 6 points on your driving licence in that 2 year period, then the DVLA will send you a letter revoking your driving licence.
Which means all the hard work you have done prior to passing your driving test, will have to be done again. You will need to retake your theory test and then retake your driving test, not to mention the car insurance company will ask you to declare if you have had points on your driving licence in the last 5 years.

I took without my test without telling anyone, When I passed I got my parents round and said "I've had a big argument with my instructor and he's told me I can't drive the car anymore and hes given me this", passed across the pass letter and they look and just couldn't take it in, I was like well what does it say? then they were stunned haha.
Same, no one even knew I was talking lessons😁. I shocked them with a pass within 7 days🥳
Nice to see you here ggzii used to watch your gears 2 videos back in secondary school
Speeding is the main one, keep your speed down there is lots of mobile speed cameras about recently, don’t tempt fate, stay below the speed limits it’s not worth it, especially in the first 2 years, if people are being impatient it’s their risk let them overtake, you aren’t the one who’s risking getting caught
I Just PASSED my test this morning , only 2 minors 🙌🥳🥳 thank you for all your help and support Travis! This video couldn’t be anymore in time! Good luck everyone for their tests too! 🙏🏻💜
🎉🥳🥂👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😎 drive safe bro/take your time because now you have responsibility for others in your car😌. Once again, 🎉congrats🎉👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😁
@@majackslelo827 thanks so much for the love bro! Appreciate it 😃

Np😁🎉
Thank you for watching and safe driving
I passed my test 7 months ago and today it's being taken away as I got 6 points for holding my phone, I was at the end of my street and haven't been gone for even a min from my house! and I am usually a very safe driver I was only going to check for traffic as I was running late for my exam. please be careful to all new drivers its ridiculous how strict they are
Sorry to hear. Hopefully people will read your comment and not use their phone.
I hope you manage to get your theory and driving test sorted quickly. Good luck
Oh bummer. Well rules are not being on phone unless ur car is parked and the ignition is off.. I think? Or maybe just parked. Well better safe than sorry 😅
Aw man that's savage
I also did my test without telling anyone…
I just asked my dad to watch my 2 year old daughter while I nipped shopping (I have her full time on my own) I passed my test went home didn’t say anything just handed my little girl my pass certificate and then said “daddy can give you a better life now) that feeling was immense!! 🥰
Congratulations
@@JamesTravis thank you! 🤝
Best advice ever .Thank you
Thank you for watching
Useful information mate. Didn’t know all that .Thanks a million.
Safe driving
Very useful video thank you!
Thank you for watching
I've had my license two years and I've still got a clean license. Unlike a friend of mine, who smashed into an oncoming car on a single track road because he went tok fast around a blind bend four weeks after passing. He got five points. Its reasons like this that make me want to keep clean, even though it won't affect me the same anymore 😅
Keep up the clear licence.
Helpful. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
£100 fine.
3 points on your licence.
Increased insurance for 5 years.
And you don't get anywhere any quicker. Is it worth it?
Also, worth noting, Speed Awareness Courses aren't an option in Scotland.
I passed today on my 5th try, was always the nerves getting to me, your videos helped massively - thank you Travis! :)
Congratulations on passing and thank you for watching
Thank you
I passed my test today second attempt! Want to say thank you for your helpful videos and will continue to watch
Congratulations on passing and safe driving
Thank you so much for this, I passed my test with 2 minors today and really want to make sure I keep my new licence when I get it!
Congratulations on passing and safe driving
Thanks a lot
Thank you
I’m 3 months into my 2 year probation after passing and am being really mindful of my speed. Also making sure my phones in my bag or glove box. I do wonder if a mini version of the speed awareness course should be shown at the end of the theory test as so many seem to speed. I’m getting fed up of other drivers on my tail but I’m definitely sticking to the speed limits.
Unfortunately there are some silly drivers who just want to drive on the tails of other cars.
Safe driving
Passed my test today with 1 minor! Thanks a lot for your videos, really helped me !
Happy to help
Ayyy so did I :)
Sameee here todayy I couldn’t believe ittt
Thanks for your videos, I passed my test last week :P
Excellent
Congratulations on passing
Just passed. ✅ Took me 6 attempts. What a pain in the ass journey it’s been. Phew. 😮💨
Congratulations on passing. You got there in the end. Safe driving
Thank you. I just can’t afford a car so it’ll be a long while until I’ll be able to drive again….and then on my own. I have to be so careful. I am on probation 2 years. Just 6 points and I’ll loose my license and I would have to do it all over again - I can’t let this happen.
A £100 fine is a small problem, it is the points that cost you the money, big money. Your new driver insurance is very expensive add three points to your licence, which you have to disclose to your insurers and your premium might be 25% to 50% higher for three years. Points get removed from your licence after four years despite them supposedly being for three.
So true.
New deiver insurance is horrendous..my first policy was more than I paid for the car ...but back when I did mine there was no theory or hazard perception test ...or indeed no 2 year probationary period...but then I didn't buy a car for 4 years after passing my test so that wouldn't have been an issue ...I feel sorry for the younger generation doing it now...
I just bought an i20 for 7600 and paid 4000 for insurence
Love these videos Travis, you’re absolutely the goat. Also would love to know if you’ve accumulated points during your years of driving… if you don’t mind sharing that with us?🤣
Thank you for your kind words. I have not got any points for my driving. But I did get a couple of parking tickets over the years.
Passed my 2 year probation like 1 month ago. Need to get back behind the wheel it's been a while
Go for it
I think you should be able to pay to remove points seeing as most companies are greedy nowadays. Think about how much money they’d rake in plus it’s a legit way to make money instead of them gouging our pockets. So let’s say you get done for speeding for example, if you don’t pay the fine, you’ll get points. plus i think fines should have an expiry which means if you don’t pay the fine after it’s expiry date, you get the points
@@hoodnationproductions No, it'll only make the system look weak and hypocritic
@@techobsessed7745 just the way I see it anyway
I have my test tomorrow morning i hope the gods are looking down on me an i get the pass 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Good luck
If your tempted to speed, do it within the speed limit and make sure you don’t do it in the wrong place For example in busy areas or near school zones
How can you speed within the speed limit?
@@Mrmallet777 something I said when I was still learning, ignore what I said
I passed my test 2 weeks ago but I won't be driving for 2 years anyway because the insurance price is killing me :D
I hear you😅. I started of on monthly payments with a black box, it’s was good
Yep. Passed a year ago and insurance still going to cost me £900 next year with a years no claims! Unbelievable. Need to be 21 to get anywhere near decent price
Good to know, just passed, assumed I had 12 points, but I guess not.
Safe driving
I originally got my automatic only license in June last year, but then upgraded to a manual one a few weeks ago. Will my probation period have reset cuz of the new license?
No
I have held my CAT A for 3 years when I pass my driving test would the probation still apply?
I think it would still apply
2 miles above speed limit sounds very harsh, I thought you needed at least 3+ for anything to happen.
Different police forces use different formulae. Some offer driver education in lieu of a a fine plus points. The courses cost money but points cause you the big expense with elevated insurance premiums over a series of years.
When a new driver did not have a car for two years is the two year probation period active or not?
It starts from the day they pass. So if for the next two years you don’t drive, then you have passed the period
Ive got 6 points last October I’ve recently pasted my theory and practical booked in June do you think I will still be able to get my license as they didn’t say anything about not been able to get one ?
How have you got 6 points without a license
You will be able to take your test, but if you get any more points, you will lose your license
What if a new driver gets caught speeding in another country? Does it affect the uk license???
Good question! I might apply for a dubai liscence so I was wondering also
A lot would depend on the country and the UK. If they have an arrangement, then you never know.
But if no arrangement, then it shouldn’t effect your license as long as you pay the fines
Passed last year and don’t know which car to get. Any nice reliable first cars you would recommend!
Honda Jazz very good engines and plenty around.
How can you get done for going wrong way
If you go down the motorway/highway in the wrong direction it will result in fines and penalties in the UK for dangerous and careless driving.
I'm super confused what you and a few people in the comments are on about re taking your test ? One of my mates crashed and 3 list their licences for other reasons over a few years , none of them done their test again you just wait the time and then once your not banned no more apply and pay for a few licence and then your back on the road never heard of you having to do your tests again why would you ?:)
As a new driver if you get your license revoked by the dvla within the first 2 years, you then have to retake the driving test in the uk.
@@JamesTravis ohh I see what so if you get banned after the 2 year period you don't?:) Have to do your test again?:)
@@JamesTravis I'm from UK passed my test in 2014 I may get a ban soon I'm not entirely sure but I really hope I don't have to do my tests again if so , that would be such a pain
@@Danimaz3211996 most of the time you would not have to retake the test again.
But if it goes to court and the judge removes your license then it is a retest.
@@JamesTravis oh says on Google that basically wheb banned from driving the judge will not usually make you re take your test if you've been driving more than 2 it says it's rare to be banned and made to re take your test but as far as I know being made to re take your test when you passed your test like 5 years ago you get banned and then the band lifts you don't have to do your driving tests again ? I'm saying this because I've literally got multiple friends and we all passed out yltest by 2019 in various dates each one of them got banned from driving for 1 to 1 and a half years , every single one of was banned from driving in the UK when they had passed their test more than 3 year prior to this so I'm just confused where all this ", you will have to re take your tests " stuff come from , hell someone I worked with last year he has 1 months left of a 1 year band caught driving whilst on ketamine he got banned for driving one year and in a month he doesn't have to do his theory or test again he just gets his licence back after the certain date , yet your sat here saying you do so it's very confusing me,I done me test 8 years ago don't want the hassle of having to do it all again I passed both first time it may have just been luck aha over 8 years you pick up bad habits ect so I don't know if I'd pass today's test , so I wanna avoid re doing it and just be given it back :)
I’m about to get 6 points and £300 fine for riding my electric scooter still waiting for the letter to arrive though and just passed my test 2 months ago. Will I get my license revoked because of this? And what should I do when it do get revoked? 🙏🏾
If you have given 6 penalty points, then yes the letter will arrive revoking your license. Sorry to hear
@@JamesTravis Can I still apply for a new provisional license straight away and do everything again? Also the points will still remain though right?
Electric scooter? Huh? Does electric scooter have a license or… does it go towards ur driving license for a car? I don’t understand.
@@Berry-XdIt’s all so silly, you have to have insurance on a personal electric scooter to use it on the road but it isn’t currently possible to get insured for one. The public ones you see in cities and some towns are insured though.
Got caught twice in my first day 😢
Insurance companies are just greedy
they do expect a lot of money off you in the first year. Then the premiums drop a lot going forward.
@@JamesTravisno they don't
What happens if you get 12 points before 3 years?
You lose your licence
I’ve got 8 points on my provisional license which are due to expire in December after 3 years. What happens next tho? There is literally no information on it. Please help 🙏🏽
If your provisional license is expired in December, just reapply for a new license. I am not sure if your points will be wiped off or carried forward.
@@JamesTravis I meant that I have got 8 points on my provisional license and I read that you can’t apply for a new license because it will just get taken away from me because of the 6+ points?
@@sohankhan9306 usually when they revoke your license you reapply for a new license and retake the theory test and driving test. Unless the court has put a ban in place for certain offences.
@@JamesTravis can I take driving lessons even though I have points?
Yes you can still take lessons. You need to produce your provisional and declare your points to the instructor. Hope that helps
I passed my test over 2 years ago with only one minor fault. Simplest way to avoid points for speeding: don’t do it! Want to avoid driving without insurance etc. don’t do it! 😊
Edit: I’ve not had any points at all in that time (touch wood it stays that way)
Good tips.
Is 60 in a 40 6 points?
I would say it would be a letter to appear in court and the judge would decide.
I passed on Wednesday
Congratulations 🎉
Thank you
I already had 3 points on my provisional, I committed another offence with my provisional which will mean I will get 3 more points. However, during the process I have passed my test, so will the points apply as a new driver or still as a learner?
I would so yes.
Go online and check your license. It will say how many points you have. If it’s saying 6 points, you will probably get a letter asking for your license back.
@@JamesTravis it’s saying 3 at the moment, but I should be getting 3 more soon
If you get 6 points on your license in the UK in the first 2 years they will send you a letter unfortunately asking for your license.
Wait for the letter. If it’s a speeding offence they could offer you a speed awareness course, in which case they will not put points in your license. Wait and see if the letter arrives
@@JamesTravis Just to clarify, both offences were made while I had a provisional, however I received the letter of the second offence just as I passed my test
what did you do to get 6 points on a provisional
This country has stupid rules I mean 12 points like WTF other Europeans country’s allows way more points on your driving license they just want everyone to stop driving and start cycling like the old days
TT
Happy it helped
