Usually, if you incur 12 penalty points on your driving licence across three years the court will disqualify you from driving for at least six months. However, the court may not disqualify you if it would cause exceptional hardship on you or a person dependent upon you. It must be an exceptional reason and it is not enough that you would lose your job for example. 24-7LAW offers several services that may help you. We can guide you on your potential options, assist you in managing your response and even refer you to a solicitor, if you so wish.

If you are disqualified from driving due because you have obtained 12 penalty points over three years then all penalty points are erased and you will have a clean licence once the disqualification period expires.
