2. A license, other than a class DJ or class MJ license, considered probationary pursuant to subdivision three of this section shall be revoked upon the conviction of the licensee of a violation or violations committed within six months following the restoration or issuance of such license, which conviction or convictions would result in the suspension of a probationary license pursuant to subdivision one of this section or subparagraph (xvi) of paragraph b of subdivision two of section five hundred ten of this article.

3. Any license, other than a class DJ or class MJ license, which is restored or issued to a person who has had his last valid license suspended or revoked pursuant to the provisions of this section or the provisions of subparagraph (xii) of paragraph a or subparagraph (xvi) of paragraph b of subdivision two of section five hundred ten of this article shall be considered probationary until the expiration of six months following the date of restoration or issuance thereof.
