Receiving 12 or more penalty points within three years can result in a court summons and potential driving disqualification. Depending on the number of previous disqualifications, bans can last from six months to two years. Drivers disqualified for 56 days or more must apply for a new license and retake their driving test.
If you break the rules of the road, you could find an unpleasant letter in the mail, but it's important you don't ignore it. Motorists who receive more than 12 or more penalty points on their licence within three years will receive a court summons in the post.
If you're disqualified for 56 days or more If you do receive a driving disqualification that lasts more than 56 days, you will have to apply for a new driving licence. In this case, you will also need to retake your driving test or take an extended driving test. However, the court will tell you whether you will have to take an extended test or not.
Further details on reapplying for a driving licence following a disqualification can be found on GOV.UK here.
