What drivers are told when they are banned from driving
When a court bans someone from driving the senior magistrate or judge reads out a standard warning about what the defendant must not do.
This is the warning. “You cannot drive any motor vehicle on a road or public place from this moment until the end of the disqualification.
“If you drive whilst disqualified you commit a serious offence and may be sent to prison and disqualified again.
“Your licence will not be returned to you.
“You must apply to the DVLA if you wish to drive once the disqualification is ended. You should not drive until you have received your new driving licence.”
The DVLA may require medical or other evidence that a driver is a fit and proper person to be given a driving licence before issuing a new licence after a driving disqualification ends.
