What is a discretionary driving ban?
A Discretionary driving ban can be imposed by the magistrates for high speeding offences. These types of disqualifications do not have a set period. The guidelines suggest a disqualification can range from 7-56 days, this is covered under Section 34 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988.
This would ultimately be down to the Magistrates. If you receive a disqualification, you will not receive any penalty points.
How will I know if I am at risk?
If you are at risk of a discretionary driving disqualification, you will receive a Single Justice Procedure Notice (SJPN) through the post rather than a conditional offer. This is where you decide how you wish to plead.
We strongly recommend contacting a Solicitor as soon as you receive the SJPN to obtain legal advice before entering a plea. You only have 21 days from the date it was generated to reply to the SJPN so you must not delay.
