Just wondering how long does a ban stay on your licence for? I was banned in Jan 2001, got my licence back a year later. I know I need to let the insurance know for 5 years but is it 5 years after the date i was banned or the date I got my licence back?

Cheers for your help guys

Bans stay on for 5 years from date of conviction unless Drink/Drug Driving (& poss Death By etc) which stay on for 10 years from date of conviction.

Ban was for DR10 (over limit morning after) I have to tell the insurance for 5 years, but is that from date I was banned?

Will stay on your license for 10 years,

dpb

its 10 or 11.......of course the conviction is a permanant record.

You usually tell insurance in relation to the conviction date. (so Jan 2001). Should mean you don't have to declare it to insurance as of next month.

A reminder to all to watch how much they drank the night before they need to drive!

Indeed!! I was pulled over at half 8 in the morning, breathalized and found to be 9mg over the 36mg limit.

Mate, As a matter of interest, how much had you had the night before and what time did you stop drinking. If you can remember, Just Curious
