Can I avoid a driving ban?
In some cases, such as drink driving or death by dangerous driving, a driving ban is obligatory. However, for other offences, disqualification is discretionary and it is therefore possible to avoid a driving ban if the correct mitigation is presented to the Court.

Although under the totting up procedure a driving ban is mandatory, the Court does in fact have discretion and a totting up ban can be avoided if the Court accepts a submission of exceptional hardship.

Before imposing any discretionary driving disqualification, the Court will allow the motorist the opportunity to plead for his driving licence. The Court will take into account the individual

A friend of mine was caught drink driving, he was actually moving his nans car who had just had a stroke from the road onto her drive. The police were over the road eating chips saw him and lifted him.

He pleaded guilty in court but had mitigating circumstances so was given 11 points, one more error he was told and his licence was gone.
