Theoretical Licence Situation

[moss]

Me and a friend were talking tonight, his friend has just passed his car test but has rode bikes for 10 years.

Is he now on the 2 year probationary period?
What happens if he gets 6 points? does he lose both licences?
Or what if he had already acquired 6 points on his bike licence then gets the car licence which will already have 6 points on?

And kind of related, is there a probationary period on the bike licence?

but surely not good practice to think 'its alright i can get 9 point before i have to worry'

Nah, but after 10 years of riding a bike and lots of 'spirited' riding through the countryside, hes just got caught in a 40 zone doing less than 50. So hes now got 3 points on his licence.
