Disqualification from driving So, according to the Band C fines in the table above: in a 30mph limit you’ll need to be driving at more than 51mph, 66mph in a 40, 75mph in a 50, 85mph in a 60 and 100mph in a 70. Bans generally range from 7 to 56 days depending on the seriousness of the offence.

Avoid Speeding on City Roads The congested roads, pollution and traffic in cities often result in spending more time sitting inside the car and becoming frustrated. Due to this, people often over-speed to skip signals or to overtake other vehicles. This results in collision with other cars or pedestrians.

Drivers caught speeding at over 100mph are referred to court, where magistrates have the discretion to issue a driving ban or six penalty points on the driver’s licence. The charity wants to see drivers automatically banned when caught doing over 100mph.

4 years from date of conviction results in disqualification.

There is a big difference between a driving disqualification (or a ban) and a licence revocation. Only a court can impose a driving disqualification. It is usually for a fixed number of days, weeks, months or years, Sometimes courts order drivers to do another driving test before they get their licence back.

If you’re disqualified for 56 days or more you must apply for a new licence before driving again. You might also have to retake your driving test or take an extended driving test before getting your full licence. The court will tell you if you have to do this.

Effective lifetime bans from the roads are rare but can be imposed if the courts consider the driver to be a threat to others. It is understood drivers who are handed the ban will not remain disqualified for the whole 80 years if they pass an extended test.

Depending on the nature of a driving offence, penalty points will be imposed to identify that one has been committed. The mandatory guideline is that under the totting up system, when a ban comes to an end, a driver’s licence is returned, their slate is wiped clean and all points are removed.
