Hello, my son’s situation ....
NI licence
English Court
He lost his licence after being involved in a minor crash the morning after a night out. He has (really I should say me and his dad) paid the financial cost of a written off car and a years insurance premiums just paid - but having read some posts on here, very grateful that the insurers didn’t pursue him for costs.
The 12 month ban didn’t really affect him as he went off to do a years study in a big city and didn’t need a car.
But my question is this ..... He didn’t have his licence taken from him, and says he was told he didn’t need to reapply but could drive again after the ban. No reapplication letter from the DVLA was sent.
So, now we don’t know what to do. Obviously he doesn’t want to drive, get stopped for something and then find out he has been driving illegally and end up in more trouble.
Could it be a NI/England blip where NI licences can’t be processed in the same way as English ones?
Can he find out the status of his licence without contacting Police or DVLA? He doesn’t want to open a can of worms if there is no need!
if anyone can help, I’d be very grateful!
thanks
