What Are Motoring Offences That Lead to Driving Bans
Motoring offences cover a wide range of illegal driving behaviours. They include speeding, careless driving, dangerous driving, and driving under the influence (DUI). These offences can result in temporary or long-term driving bans. For example, accumulating 12 or more penalty points within three years triggers a ban under the totting-up system. Serious offences may lead to immediate disqualification.
Understanding the Process for Removal of Ban
UK law under Section 42 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 allows some drivers to apply for early removal of a driving ban. To qualify, you must have served a minimum part of the ban and prove that keeping the ban causes exceptional hardship. A strong legal team can prepare your case and gather supporting evidence to improve your chances of success.
