Hello,
Until July 2012 my wife was permanently resident (since 1995) in Spain with a Spanish license.
During a brief visit to the UK in 2009 she was arrested for DD and the court imposed an 18 month ban.
She returned to Spain and continued driving on her Spanish license.
In July 2012 we moved from Spain direct to the Isle of Man where she changed her Spanish license for an IoM license without problem.
She continued to drive in the Isle of Man and in the UK until we moved back to the UK in Nov 2013.
In Jan 2014 she applied to change her Isle of Man license to a UK license.
They sent her a license, but strangely it was in her maiden name and did not show the DD conviction.
Last month they wrote to her asking her to confirm her address in UK at time of conviction (her parents house), which she did.
They have now written to her saying that the period of her ban starts from now, not the date of conviction.
Is this right? Seems a little strange to me.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Many thanks.
