I have a drink driving ban, the magistrates did not mention anything about a course which reduces my ban. Would I have to go to the magistrates and see if they would allow me to do one?

Keith,
It is at the court's discretion to refer you to a drink driving rehabilitation course. If that didn't happen, maybe the court didn't see the need to refer you to one. However the rehabilitation course allows you to reduce your driving ban by upto a quarter of its term.
It depends on your individual circumstances really - so the best thing you can do is check with a drink driving solicitor who would be able to tell how to proceed to reduce your driving ban and whether you may be able to enroll on the rehabilitation course.
