A year ago I was sentenced to a three year ban for drink driving. Is it
true that after a certain time I can apply to have my ban reduced?

yes you can apply to the courts that sentenced you.
but if you pleaded guilty to the offence then i dobt you will get it reduced as i believe there is a minimum time the sentence can last for.

you really need to ask about this on one of the solicitors newsgroups.

saying :

A *THREE YEAR* ban?

This wasn't the first time, was it...?

Honest answer. I like that. Stop bloody drinking when you've got the motor
though.

Right.

So - you're a fuckwit with no sense whatsoever, a drink problem, and the
brains of a cretinous earthworm. You can't take a hint to save your life.

Please don't try and shorten the ban. Our roads are better off without you.

Now, please, fuck off. Cheers.

I am in exactly the same position as you - 2nd ban within 10years -
was given a 3yr ban in October 2004. Being as I have now covered
2years of the ban I can now appeal - and have een discussing this with
my solicitor in the last week. We have to put a case together
explaining why I want/NEED my license back and ask for a court date. I
believe (and I'm 99.9% certain) that you have to serve at least 2years
of the ban thou'.

Perhaps you could have thought of that earlier?

You were stupid. Twice.

Live with it.

Was 'eagerly' awaiting some sort of abuse after reading your earlier
replies...........'eagerly' waiting some more...........
