Reduce driving ban for second time offender
I was banned on June 15th 2006 for 3 years for a second time drink drive. I cant remember being asked to do the course at sentencing, however I've now completed over 75% of my ban. I need my licence back asap for a promotion open to me pending getting my licence back! For the last 2 and a bit year I have turned jobs down because of this reason, my whole life has suffered, which not forgetting was the purpose of the ban originally! I would very much appreciate any info to help resolve my predicament.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.
You would have been asked about the drink driving rehabilitation course normally at the time of sentencing by the magistrate. If at that time, you had agreed to do the course, you would have had to pay the fees to get enrolled on the course and a certain time period would have been set for you to complete the course. As it stands, I don't think you have been given the option of doing the course by the court.
Therefore, it would be better if you get in touch with a drink driving solicitor and explain that the course would enable you to get the promotion you're after and they will be able to tell you what your next steps are. If you can prove that you badly need your licence back, they might be able to do something for you. So the best thing is to get some drink driving advice from a solicitor specialising in driving bans.
