Default Banned???

Could someone clarify a querie that i have.
After 18 years of holding my full car license and being a law abiding citizen, it now looks like i'm about to accumilate 6 points in 2 weeks

1st one in the car, 38 in a 30, the stretch always used to be a 40, but was changed a couple of months back, my fault for not noticing the signs.

2nd one caught by a static (well it flashed...fingers crossed it ran out of film lol) again this was in the car, again my fault

My question is...after only passing my bike test 23 months ago will i lose my bike entitlement as it's been less than 2 years

I'm hoping that at least one of them i'll be offered the chance to do a SAW course...if not....know anyone who wants a triumph daytona
TIA

Yeah I think Jordan is right, you bike license is purely an endorsement on your original licence.

I was told by my examiner to stay clean for 2 years, I said to him even though I have been driving for 7+ years, and he said yes you will loose your bike entitlement.

Possibly just a scare tactic then.

Flamin Squirrel is correct. There are people here who have "tested" this theory successfully.

i have been driving for 17 years, but only passed my bike test last year, i too was told that if i was to get 6 points in the 1st 2 years it would result in a ban.
my instructor knew i passed my car test years ago.
