Lifting driving ban early
I found your details on the internet following some research on my sentence. I am currently serving a 3 year ban having been banned drink driving for the 2nd time. I was caught again 9 months into my original first 18 month sentence and given another three years. 2 have now passed and having grown up a bit am doing well in a new job with possible promotion coming shortly. Would I be eligible to apply to the court to get my license back early? I successfully completed the DIDs programme and had my supervision dropped due to good behaviour. Having gone through a tough year in x I have got my act together with a very good job and need my license back to progress with the company. Having worked hard in school and university I am ready to put all this bother behind me once and for all and hopefully take this iopportunity available to me. Any information you could provide me with I would be more than grateful.

Thank you for your question.
Yes you can apply for your licence back early. The court take into account the way you have behaved since the sentence was imposed, the reasons why you need your licence back and the nature of the original offence.
We would have to apply to the court that sentenced you and there is a £200 court fee.
If you would like my help I would charge a fixed fee of £600 plus vat for my services and this includes your representation at court. These applications are not easy and the court takes allot of persuading - you are effectively asking the court to change the sentence originally imposed. The prosecution have the right to oppose the application.
If you would like my help come back to me and I will be happy to assist.
