ROAD TRAFFIC AND VEHICLES

The Road Traffic (New Drivers) (Northern Ireland) Order 1998 introduced a probationary period of 2 years for newly qualified drivers. If, during that period, certain offences are committed, the Department shall revoke the driver’s licence or test certificate and a new licence shall not be granted until a relevant driving test is passed.
