Points mean no prizes
I spoke to a friend today who told me that 6points was the max that a rider was alowed before his licence was suspended
This is a bad thing as I have 9month left before I have a clean licence but have a bad feeling I got flashed on Sun night trying to get some distance between me and some boy racer in a 30 Anyone have some clarity on this one? |

If you have had your licence for more than 2 years, then I think it's 12 points before getting suspended.

You friend is wrong.
The only time 6 points is the max you're allowed before your licence is suspended is for the first 2 years you hold your FIRST full entitlement. Meaning, if you've had your car licence for 2 years then get your bike licence, you've had a licence 2 years and can accumilate up to 12 points on either machine. |

Oh, and if you get 6 points in that period, you lose your licence AND keep the points!
That way, when you retake your test, you still have 6 points!!! |

I've had my full car license for over ten years, my bike license since March this year.
Does that mean I have completed my two year probatiopn or that it began in March? Cheers for this!! (off to change my trousers) |

Squirrel is correct:
"The two year 'probationary period' will begin on the day the first driving test is passed. Drivers who already hold a full licence for one category of vehicle will not be affected if they pass a test in an additional category." From a driving school website.

... and if I accumulate 6 points within the first two years of my recent bike entitlement, do I loose my car license too?
This is complicated DAG-NAB-IT!! |
