If you don’t have a valid licence and you are caught driving, you will more than likely be charged with unlicenced driving or disqualified driving. This means you will have to go to Court.

What Is the Penalty for Driving Without a Licence?

Unlicenced Driving

Depending on the reason you don’t have a licence, the Court may, as part of its sentence, disqualify you from holding a licence for up to 5 years. In most circumstances, depending on your history, you will also be sentenced to pay a fine.

Disqualified Driving

If, however, you are before the Court for disqualified driving, meaning you were unlicenced because a Court ordered you not to drive, then you can expect a minimum disqualification of 2 years but you also risk serving a period of imprisonment.

The Courts rightfully get upset with drivers who have been ordered by a Court not to drive, but have disobeyed the order and driven anyway. It is for this reason that the driver may find that a Court imposes a term of imprisonment as part of the sentence. Our lawyers and solicitors have a track record, second to none, of representing clients and keeping them out of prison for these type of driving offences.

We charge a fixed fee for unlicenced and disqualified driving matters.
