It is possible to apply to a Magistrates’ Court for the return of a driving licence before the expiration of the period of disqualification.
Relevant Law | Kangs Motoring Offence Advisory Team
Section 42 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988, states:
Section 42 Removal of disqualification

(2)On any such application the court may, as it thinks proper having regard to;
(a) the character of the person disqualified and his conduct subsequent to the order,
(b) the nature of the offence, and
(c) any other circumstances of the case,
either by order remove the disqualification as from such date as may be specified in the order or refuse the application.
How Can I Apply For Removal Of My Disqualification? | Kangs Motoring Offence Team
There are time limits restricting the minimum period in which an application may be made.
An application, which must be in writing and sent to the Court that issued the disqualification, can be made as follows:
- Disqualification of less than 2 years
The entire period of disqualification has to be served and the Court will not entertain any application.
- Disqualification of between 2 and 4 years
Only after 2 years has been ‘served’ can a section 42 application be made
- Disqualification of between 4 and 10 years
Only after half the period of disqualification has been served can a section 42 application be made.
- Disqualification exceeding 10 years
Only after 5 years has been ‘served’ can a section 42 application be made.
