My best mate took his bike test when he was 17 and didn't have a need for a car until he was 23; his license was revoked for getting 6 points within the first 2 years of having his car license and he lost both. As said if you lose your license, you lose ALL of the entitlements on that license.
It was a bit off as he'd had a bike license for over 5 years when so was well out of the two year period; but as he'd only passed his car test 18months before losing it; he lost the lot

Not true 
For example if you have held your car licence for more than 2 years but your motorbike license less than two years.. If you get 6 points on the motorbike you lose the motorbike license but not the car one
This is what happened to the poor bastid I got my R6 off.

Wrong again I'm afraid.. If you have held your bike license for more than two years and your car license for less then 2 years it works the opposite way..

If your banned, your banned from the public highway on any sort of vehicle for the designated period. however if your car entitlement is revoked, your motorcycle one isnt and vise-versa.

There is no such thing as a car license or a bike license, you have one license on which you can do tests and gain entitlements that will be added to that license!
If you get a driving ban, you are banned from using anything with a motor on the public highway unless the court states otherwise. So your only option is a push bike. I know this because i am banned from driving at the moment

If you get banned for drink driving/dangerous driving/driving without due care etc.. YES it effects all of your licenses *BUT* the totting up procedure does not..
If you get 6 points for speeding and you have held one of your licenses for less than two years, you will lose it.. But you wont lose the first license because you need 12 points to lose that.

No, you only loose entitlement to the category you were charged for offending with if they decide to revoke your licence.
Be it a TT99 or a DUI, the only affected category on your licence is the one you were caught offending in regardless of how long any of your entitlements have been accquired.

Wow, so many people saying so many differnent things.
Being banned and having your licence revoked are two separate things.
If you're banned at the end of the ban (unless specified otherwise) you'll get your licence (and all entitlements) back.
If your licence is revoked, you start from scratch, with no entitlements and you must pass tests all over again.
With the totting up procedure (6 points in the first 2 years) I believe you can pass 1 test to get them all back.
And I also believe the new drivers thing only applies to your licence as a whole, i.e you pass a car licence, hold it for 2 years then pass a bike test. I believe you have 12 points on that bike licence.
Why listen to all us chatting on about stuff we don't actually know?
It'll all be on the DVLA website.

I know for a fact this isnt true As I said this happened to the guy I got my R6 off, he got 6 points on the bike.. He had only held his bike license for just over a year so he lost it. Still had a car license though
