Understanding the Consequences of Driving Whilst Disqualified

If you find yourself facing such charges, it is crucial to seek the guidance and representation of experienced driving whilst disqualified solicitors in London. At Lewis Nedas Law, our legal team of highly qualified and compassionate solicitors specialises in road traffic law and can provide you with the expert legal advice you need.

Losing your driving licence can significantly impact your daily life, making it difficult to commute to work or fulfil your responsibilities. However, driving whilst disqualified is not a risk worth taking.

If caught, you may face severe consequences, including:

    1. Penalty Points: A conviction for driving whilst disqualified can result in six penalty points added to your driving record. Accumulating penalty points can lead to further disqualification or other penalties in the future.
    2. Substantial Fines: The court may impose substantial fines as a penalty for driving whilst disqualified. The amount of the fine can vary depending on the severity of the offence and your driving history.
    3. Extended Driving Disqualification: Driving whilst disqualified can lead to an extension of your driving ban disqualification period. This means you must wait longer before being eligible to regain your driving privileges.
    4. Potential Imprisonment: In some cases, particularly if you have a history of driving offences or if your offence is deemed severe, you may face a custodial sentence. The length of the prison sentence will depend on the circumstances of your case.

Is it possible to reduce a driving disqualification?

Yes, it is possible to seek a reduction in your driving disqualification in the UK, but it is not a guaranteed outcome. The process for reducing a driving disqualification involves several steps and considerations:

  1. Application for Reduction: To reduce your driving disqualification, you must apply to the court that issued the disqualification order. The application should typically be made before two-thirds of the way through the disqualification period.
  2. Court’s Discretion: The court has the discretion to consider your application. They will assess various factors, including the seriousness of the original offence, your conduct during the disqualification period, and the impact of the disqualification on your personal and professional life.
  3. Legal Representation: Having experienced legal representation is crucial during this process. Our team of skilled solicitors has a proven track record of successfully advocating for clients seeking reductions in driving disqualifications.
  4. Strong Case Presentation: We will work closely with you to build a strong case for reduction. This may include presenting evidence of rehabilitation, changes in circumstances, and the necessity of driving for employment or family responsibilities.
  5. Court Hearing: In many cases, a court hearing will be scheduled to determine whether your disqualification can be reduced. Our legal experts will represent your interests and make compelling arguments on your behalf.
