Hi there,
As far as I know the amount of points does not stop you from taking another driving category test (i.e motorcycle). And if your over 21 then direct access is available to you.
I would check with the DVLA or your local motorcycling training school if you want more clarification, just dont get disqualified as that will make learning to ride a bike more complicated!
good luck

No, it's not, but it will make insurance somewhat expensive, especially depending on what the points are for.
However, if you have problems with self control, and/or spotting cameras, then you'll be banned within days of buying your first big bike. Or, if you try hard enough, before you even get that far...
