Hi don't know if anyone on here would know but the DVLA have revoked my sons driving license under the New Drivers rule, the thing is the offence happened 2 years ago.
Not going to go into detail but he got 6 points and £200 fixed penalty the day before his 2 years driving probation would have been up. The offence happened on 5/3/11.
He sent his license off and had the points added and paid the fine. He was told when he received his license back that the DVLA would be in contact within 21 days. He heard nothing and thought he had scraped in because of it happening the day before his 2 years was up.
He received a letter from them yesterday saying that they have now revoked his license. My question is, is there a maximum time in which they can do this. He has settled down and got a good job and if he loses his license he loses his job.
And yes I know he shouldn't s have got the points and penalty but that's in the past, he paid the fine and took the points but it seems a bit harsh to leave it 102 weeks before they revoke his license.
