new driver, how many points are you allowed?

[Deep]

if you just passed your test i thought you are allowed 6 points within 2 years, and then you lose licence.

but my friend went through bus lane got 3 points. the officer who pulled him over said if you get 6 points in 12 months you lose your licence.

this validates my point but is it wrong?

3 Points for driving within a bus lane?

AND the bus lane isnt a bus lane as such its more like a 10metre bus only stretch.

he went through there because there are width restrictions on the side that he should drive through

it was also at 11.45 at night
