Remember DON’T drink and drive, DON’T drive when tired, and DO NOT drive under the influence of drugs

Convictions stay with you for 11 years and causing death by dangerous driving whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs carries a maximun sentence of 14 years inprisonment.

Once you have passed your driving test you have a 2 year probational period, within which time you must not exceed 5 penalty points, should you be convicted of 6 points or more you will lose your licence and maybe subject to a ban, which once served, you will be required to retake the Theory Test and practical test.
