Where can I find more detailed information on the driving tests and driving licence categories?
Driving Standards Agency .DSA is the goverment body responsibe for setting standards and conducting theory and practical driving tests
 

What if i get 6 points in the first 2 years of passing my test ?
You will have to resit your driving test again as a learner that also includes your theory test.

To remove expired endorsements from your driving licence, you’ll need to apply to exchange your licence for a new one. You can apply by post, or if you hold a paper driving licence, you can use the premium checking service.

You can start to drive by yourself immediately as long as you have valid insurance, tax, MOT. Until you get your pink licence or at least for few days you should keep the blue certificate with you as it takes few days for your name to be in the system.

As a disqualified driver or rider, a court can order that you return to being a learner driver and take an extended practical driving test. The test is longer and more demanding and is aimed at checking your ability to drive.

What will happen

At the end of your disqualification, you’ll need to

apply for a provisional driving licence and drive as a learner
pass a theory test for the category of vehicle in which you intend to take an extended practical driving test
pass the extended practical driving test
The practical test lasts for about 70 minutes and covers a wide variety of roads, usually including dual carriageways. You are advised to prepare by taking suitable instruction from an approved driving instructor (ADI).
