A court normally imposes an automatic ban on anyone who reaches a total of 12 points.
Within the first two years after passing a driving test, anyone who reaches 6 points will have their licence revoked. This is not the same as a ban. The driver reverts back to learner status but he/she can immediately apply for a new provisional licence and seek an appointment for a driving test.
