Yes, drink driving hold hands up but found out someone put vodka in drinks when I met lads after work .He didn't know I was driving but won't come forward!! But my question is I cannot get work because all my jobs involve driving licence, so agencies told me they've got work for me but need my licence to start. Any advice would be appreciated as don't want to be burden on social system. I know about driving course to attend.

Dave,

The truth is it is easier to fight back before the disqualification is issued. You could have got a drink driving lawyer to present a good case for you and either avoid the ban or get it reduced in the first place but after a driving ban has been imposed, it is more difficult to do anything about it. Of course if you are attending the rehab course for drink drivers, you can expect upto a quarter of your ban lifted but other than that there's nothing much that you can do about it. For driving disqualification less than 2 years, you are expected to serve the full term of the ban.

As I always say, if you need your driving licence badly, then it is probably worth speaking to a drink driving solicitor/lawyer and see if they can help you since they are the experts in this field.
