Just passed HGV test and now caught drink driving, will I need to resit tests?

You will have to wait until the court sentences you to know whether you will have to resit your driving test or not. In some cases, you are just disqualified for a certain amount of time but if the judge thinks that your case was serious, then he can order that you retake your driving test before you're allowed to drive again.

When you receive a driving ban, it applies to all categories that you have on your licence, that is, you will lose your HGV entitlement. The Traffic Commissioners can extend the ban on your HGV licence and stop you from earning a living through driving a heavy goods vehicle.

Hi, just like to pass on my condolences. As for me, I've got a class 1 and the 1st time I got caught was nearly twice the limit.18 month ban but could drive both car and truck. The 2nd time I was daft enough to get caught. I refused to blow and was subsequently banned for 3yrs and at the end of my ban was given another 6mths by the area traffic comm. Providing there was not any aggravating factors and just got pulled, I can't see that you'll have any problems at all. All the best and let us know how you get on.

PS: trying to get mine back after third time!!!!!!!

I got caught drink driving last night and I've also got hgv licenses up to class 1. Was wondering if anyone knows whether I will lose my hgv licenses for good, or just for as long as the ban itself ?
