7 points limit for N drivers.

rinleezwins

I'f I've had my first permit issued in 2010 and I became a novice driver after the new 2014 laws, am I under the restricted 7 penalty points limit, or the normal one?

I've found this on the rsa website:

A lower threshold of seven penalty points leading to disqualification will apply to any driver who is granted their first learner permit on or after 1 August 2014 while they drive under a learner permit, and subsequently during the first two years while they drive under their first driving licence.

It sounds like the 7 point limit shouldn't apply to me, but the way that paragraph is worded is giving me a headache for some reason.

EDIT: I dug deeper into the RSA FAQ and found a definite answer, so this thread was pointless. Please delete it or instruct me how can I delete it myself.

For clarity for other readers, the 7 penalty point limit only applies to L drivers and N drivers whose FIRST learner permit was issued after August 2014.
If the learner permit was issued prior to this time the 12 penalty point limit applies.
