drink driving

[nicky72]

12 years ago, my brother was caught drink driving but did not have a full licence, only a provisional

he was charged with a small fine, 12 months ban and no endorsements

he now wants to apply for his provisional again

will he be able to get a new provisional or will he have to do a medical first???

[New Judge]

There is no requirement to undergo a medical to resume driving following a drink driving conviction unless the court ordered it at the time of sentencing.

This is not usually done for a first offence, and only for subsequent offences if there is evidence that the defendant has an alcohol dependency or other alcohol related medical condition.
