6 points on licence

[ritual11]

hi
i just came back from a court hearing, they said they will impose 6 points on my licence. i am still within the probationary period for driving because it has not been 2 years since i passed my practical test. this is what the magistrates said:

"we will impose 6 points and you will get a letter from DVLA stating what will happen to your licence. you may have to retake your test"

they took my licence, my question is, why are they not using assertive language- why did they say "you may have to retake" as opposed to "your licence is being revoked".

1)is there a chance i will get 6 points BUT my licence will not be revoked?

2)is this known as a "conviction" and does it have to be declared to the insurance company?


thanks

Because it is for the DVLA to revoke your licence.

1. No

2. Yes

this is the nice and technical way for the court to say it,it basically means your licence is revoked,you must start again and yes you do have to inform your insurance,if you dont it will be worthless and invalid.
