Extended test

[Bradz1]

Hi I passed my driving test in 2015 and recently the dvla have told me I should of completed a extended test. As a police officer has been intouch with them. Where do I stand as I’ve had my licence for years now and they have changed it online to only being a provisional license. This is stressing me out . Thanks I’m advance for any advice

Did you get 6 penalty points within 2 years of passing your test? If so you would need to retest. Alternatively were you convicted of an offence such as dangerous driving and an extended test ordered by the court?

Hi I passed my driving test in 2019 with no issues had a clean licence for 4 years but before Christmas I had a letter saying it has been cancelled due I had an offence in 2009 and I had to do an extended driving test, so now my licence has been cancelled I'm waiting on a provisional and my question is after I pass my extended driving test I will have the same licence number but will the date I first passed my test still stay the same on my licence if anyone knows this would really help thank you

The offence must have been serious if an extended test was ordered. This would not happen by letter I do not believe. Sorry I have no idea re the dates - I would imagine the date will be the one on the new test
