Disqualified Drivers

WARNING

Driving Whilst Disqualified or obtaining a driving licence whilst disqualified is a criminal offence punishable with imprisonment for up to 6 months

DISQUALIFIED FROM DRIVING

This means that you MUST NOT drive any mechanically propelled vehicle anywhere on a "road" in the United Kingdom for the period specified by the Court.

A disqualification takes effect IMMEDIATELY it is announced by the Court. So, if you drove to Court on the day you were disqualified YOU MUST NOT DRIVE HOME AGAIN

INTERIM DISQUALIFICATION

On conviction of an offence which carries compulsary disqualification e.g. drink driving, the Court may impose an "interim disqualification", even though you may not have been finally sentenced for the offence. This means that when you are finally sentenced, the period of disqualification then announced will run from the date when the "interim disqualification" was imposed.
