Disqualified Driving
A driver’s licence can be disqualified by a court. This is different from a ‘suspension’. A licence can be disqualified by the Court for a number of reasons including:
- Speeding
- Drink driving
- Driving while suspended
- Driving while disqualified
- Dangerous driving, aggravated burnout, negligent driving.
If your licence has been disqualified it is illegal to drive a vehicle on a road or road related area.
If you are caught driving while in a disqualification period you can be charged with ‘driving while disqualified’ and will need to have the matter heard at Court. You face a minimum 2 years disqualification and possible imprisoment.
Penalties for ‘driving while disqualified’
The Court views disqualified driving very seriously. It is an Offence in defiance of a Court Order. The Court has the discretion to impose a number of penalties for an offence of ‘driving while disqualified’ including imprisonment. You should seek legal advice.
