Ban for death by dangerous driving licence return

Paul,

Normally for a driving disqualification of 5 years, you would be able to re-apply for your licence after two and a half years. However if you have been ordered to resit the driving test, then you will need to serve the full length of the ban. Note that requesting your licence earlier results in you making an appeal to the court which sentenced you and you will need to bear court fees as well as solicitors etc. When your 5 year driving ban ends, you will need to apply for a provisional licence, sit the theory test and pass an extended driving test instead of the standard one that learners do. Once all these are completed, then you will get your licence back.
