Transport written question – answered at on 13 January 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency has ever exercised discretion in revoking the licence held by a new driver who has accumulated six penalty points since the introduction of the Road Traffic (New Drivers) Act 1995.
When the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) receives a notification of endorsement from a court or fixed penalty office of a driver who meets the criteria of the Road Traffic (New Drivers) Act 1995, a letter is produced by the DVLA informing the driver that his/her driving licence will be automatically revoked five days from the date of the letter. There is no discretion or right of appeal.
