Early Removal Of Disqualification FAQs

Appeals for an early removal of a disqualification can be a confusing & complex process. Below are commonly asked questions answered by an experienced motoring law solicitor.

Q: I have been banned from driving. Can I get my licence back early?

A: This depends on the following circumstances:

  • If you were banned for 2 years or less, you cannot apply at all. Your only option would be to appeal IF you were in time and had grounds.
  • If you were disqualified for less than 4 years, you can apply after 2 years.
  • If disqualified for between 4 and 10 years, you can apply when half the period has expired.
  • If disqualified for 10 years or more, or for life, you can apply after 5 years.
  • In deciding whether to remove a ban, the court has to take into account your character, conduct since conviction and any other circumstances.
