Do you have to re-sit your driving test if your licence was revoked?

Answered by David Ross

It depends what it was revoked for. If you're a new driver and get six points or more, you have to re-take your test to get a licence: www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/LearnerAndNewDrivers...6

However, if that's not the case you can usually just re-apply for a licence: www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/DriverLicensing/Medi...0
