It varies by state. Where do you live?
”Revoking Your Drivers Licence
If you are a new driver and you get 6 or more penalty points then your licence is automatically revoked. You should be aware that this happens without you actually having to make a court appearance. This disqualification is automatic and as such requires you to retake all of the necessary parts of the driving test again – including both theory and Hazard perception tests.
You will not be allowed to drive alone and you will be returned to provisional licence status until such times as you retake your practical driving test. During this time any breach of the New Drivers Act (1995) i.e. driving without a suitably qualified or licensed driver, will be deemed instantly as a further breaking of the law and may constitute a custodial sentence
Retaking the Test
If you are banned and the ban lasts less than 56 days then you can have your licence reinstated. Your licence can be reinstated providing there is no further court intervention. It has been known for the court to ask for the individual to retake their driving test before their licence is returned. If the ban does exceed 56 days then you should assume that you will be returned to provisional licence status and will have to take the driving test and theory tests again.
Any points you have accrued will be added to your reinstated licence and will remain on the licence for a period of three years, after which time they are removed.
Again it is important to note that – just like any other driver – once your licence has been reinstated if you go beyond the legal 12 points you will be banned again, this time with the court having the option to sentence you to a custodial jail term.”
