Reducing the Ban
Getting your Driving Ban reduced by up to 50%
In drink driving related cases it is possible to have your driving ban reduced by up to 50%.
For example one client of the firm who was facing an 18 month ban had his ban reduced to 9 months.
This is a complex area needing expert representation as credit for guilty plea only reduces the fine not the ban under the relevant guidelines.
This means if you were to represent yourself the Court will likely offer no reduction on your driving ban apart from the drink driving course.
However there are ways and means to avoid the restrictive effect of the sentencing guidelines using caselaw.
Our testimonials page demonstrates how it is possible to gain a substantial reduction on the ban with the right representation.

Applying to Remove Your Driving Ban
We can apply the court for your driving ban to be removed once you have completed 2 years of any ban up to 4 years or half of any ban longer than 4 years.
For example
- on a 3 year ban you can apply for your ban to be removed after 2 years
- on a 5 year ban you can apply for the ban to be removed after 2 1/2 years.
Legal representation is recommended to increase your chances of success with home office approved blood tests to support the application.
We will also assist with case preparation including obtaining supporting documentation and character references.
If the court refuses the request you have the automatic right to reapply after 3 months.
