Hi, I lost my license in sept 08 and received a 36 month ban. the reason for the 36 month ban was because I was pulled over again the night before my court hearing so I actually have a drink driving conviction of 2 counts. I was in a bad way then as I wasn't working and was about to lose my house. I was also given 12 months probation. I quickly found work and housing and was let off probation early (March 09) so I could join the army. I applied and passed all test and completed my application in March of this year. Everything was going well but then the army introduced driver training so I couldn't start until my ban was lifted. I then got laid off from my other job. I have missed numerous army opportunities and am unemployed. Yesterday I completed my alcohol awareness course which reduced my ban by 9 months meaning I will get my license back on December 17th of this year however, the army have said there is a place for me in September or October and as the army is full due to the recession there will not be another opening til May 2011. I have the original letter to the court from probation stating the reason for me being let off early was due to my army ambitions. I also have my pass certificates from the army and from the alcohol awareness course and a letter from the army to the court stating I have been allocated a start date but I cannot start until my ban is lifted. I have also not been in any trouble since and am alcohol free.
Do I stand any chance of getting a couple more months off my ban?
Also, how do I go about setting up a hearing myself as I am unemployed I dont think I can afford representation?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Mark
