Good afternoon
I'm presently in my 16th month of a 21 month driving ban.
I'm just looking at applying for a new job as my present role came to an end with it being a fixed term contract.
Obviously, when applying for new jobs you have to declare DD as a unspent conviction for five years from the date of conviction.
I've seen a job that involves travelling to another town & if I was fortunate to get an interview I'd rather keep the fact I'm still off the road to myself if possible as it may go against me.
I've done my homework & even if I had a July/August start date I would simply have 4, maybe 5 months of using public transport & acquiring lifts which I can put up with. However, I don't want to do myself out of a decent job if I can help it by telling them I am still off the road.
I don't intend to be dishonest but when filling out an application form and declaring the conviction you don't normally need to state the ban length anyway.
My question is can potential employers find out the length of your ban?
