Norman has a poor track record when it comes to answering questions on motoring law. Trust your solicitor, not Norman because (unsurprisingly) your solicitor knows the law.
The legislation states your 'probationary period' lasts from two years from the date on which you became a 'qualified driver'. It further states that you become a qualified driver on the date on which you first pass a driving test. It then goes on to state that your probationary period ends early if, after having had your licence revoked for acquiring 6 points, you then pass another test.

listen you asked for peoples opinions and answers and maybe their help, it is up to you to make sure you are insured, if this was the case then im sure a judge would have understood seeing as there were more people involved than just you . im not judgemental i just think that alot of people talk s h i t e on here looking for sympathy!!!! or someone else to blame. why didint they tell you you were not covered??
once you have been revoked under the new drivers act (6 points in first 2years) you cannot be revoked under that act twice, however if you go on to accumulate 12 points i.e get another 6 point you will then face a disqualification period for 6-12 months (judge decides) you then pay �60 to get your full licence back once the disqual has ended.
