Could have been worse. But that isn't fair. (Did you try the sex thing?)

1 year ban and a resit........ I'd say that was particularly harsh.

Mate, go and enjoy the holiday cottage and the Kayak.

sh*t, Bad luck Neil! I hope it's a quick year for you mate... What gets me is that you get a year ban and £300 fine but if you got sent down for a year you'd be out in 6??? on that basis is there a way to get a ban shortened? A guy involved in a fight where my mate got killed who was charged as responsible was sent down for 9 months and out in 4.5 and you have not harmed anyone but as a consequence will lose your livelyhood and freedom to go where you please when you please. This Justice system is really screwed up!

All the best

Gutted for you mate I think the re-sit thing seems pretty harsh.
What do they think you will gain from it??
I hope the year flies in for you !
Just keep yourself as busy as possible in that little boat and the year should fly in
Hope your work doesn't suffer too much as a result of this?
Get yourself a decent bottle for tonight and see it as a wee break from the daily madness of our roads :thumbsup

Ouch - ban and resit is sore . Is there no option for a retraining/ education course to reduce the length of ban.

Drunk drivers are regularly offered a course to have 12 month ban reduced to 9 ( at their own expense).

It is so unjust that 'joyriders' in stolen cars regularly get banned for less when an otherwise responsible and legal driver gets a heftier ban for an indiscretion.

whatever you do dont be tempted to drive whilst banned, a good friend of mine got 1 month in jail and a further 3 year ban.

yes he's a twat but nobody deserves jailtime for a victimless driving offence.

Gutted for you bud.

Just and idea but are you allowed to instruct ? Would you be permitted to sit in the pax seat while a 17 yr old drove you to jobs ?
