Overview
- The Mail on Sunday first reported the revocation, which was echoed by the Daily Mail, the Evening Standard and others without an on-the-record DVLA or police confirmation.
- His second offence is reported to have occurred on September 2, when he posted on Instagram that he was caught doing 24 mph in a 20 mph zone.
- Both offences were in 20 mph areas, placing the 20-year-old within the six-point threshold that leads to licence withdrawal for new drivers, as outlined on GOV.UK.
- To regain a full licence, he would need to apply for a provisional and pass both the theory and practical driving tests again.
- Coverage notes a wider enforcement backdrop, with reports citing nearly 500,000 tickets for breaches of 20 mph limits last year, and sources say he is “gutted” but accepting of the outcome.
