You will be banned as you will have reached 6 points in first 2 years. Will prob have to retake your test too.

Don't think you get banned -- just think you go back to a provisional license...

6. The Road Traffic ( New Drivers) Act 1995
This Act will affect you if you passed your first GB driving test after 1 June 1997 when it came into force. If the number of valid penalty points shown on your driving licence total 6 or more during the two year probationary period immediately following your first driving test, your full driving licence will be revoked by DVLA until such time as you pass a further driving test.
Such drivers should apply for a provisional driving licence if they wish to continue driving and are subject to "learner" conditions until they pass both theory and practical parts of the driving test.
Valid penalty points incurred prior to passing the first test are taken into account if the driver commits a penalty point offence during the probationary period. Points incurred after the probationary period has expired will also count if the offence was committed during the probationary period.
Full entitlement to all categories of vehicle previously held will only be reinstated upon passing a test in any one of the driver's previously held entitlements. A successful test for entitlement to a category of vehicle not previously held will result in a full licence for that category only.
There is no right of appeal against revocation under the provisions of the Act. A driver may only appeal against the conviction, which led to the revocation.

exactly, and contemplating actually driving the car isnt somthing you should be doing as it is illegal
Lend off your parents and take the test and theory again, or sell your car and get a little run around and use the money left over to pay for the tests
