Drink drive ban

[ZebraFinch]

I had a drink drive ban for 9 months 2 years ago. Does anyone know when this conviction will be 'spent'?

Thanks

Did you receive a fine as well?

If you weren't fined - it was spent 9 months after conviction.

If you were fined - it is spent 5 years after conviction.

"Disqualifications

The rehabilitation period for a disqualification is the length of the disqualification. If a person is disqualified at the same time as receiving another penalty, the longer rehabilitation period applies. (For example, if a motorist is banned from driving for seven years and fined - which takes five years to become spent - the rehabilitation period would be seven years, not five years.)"
