Q: Your pupil has just passed their first practical driving test. What will they have to do if they get six penalty points on their licence within two years?
Correct answer:
Retake the theory and practical tests
Explanation

It states that a driver's licence will be revoked if they receive six or more penalty points as a result of offences committed within two years of passing their first practical driving test.
