Hi all, does anyone know how the precise disqualification period is calculated?
I was sentenced to a 20 month ban, reduced by 20 weeks (after completing the course) on September 1st last year. I interpreted that to mean I would get my licence back on December 1st (ie 15 months after date of conviction).
I'd not received my D27 to reapply for my licence so checked my disqualification period on the DVLA site and it's showing Dec 11th as the end date.
As it happens I won't have access to a car until Dec 12th so it doesn't affect me in real terms, but I thought they'd make the ban period a bit clearer in court to be honest. I'm sure Dec 11th is the right date and I'm not lookng to challenge it or anything, just interested as to how they work it out.
Cheers
