Drink driving In Australia Uk License

[johnny6930]

Can anyone tell me if getting caught drink driving in Australia and prosecuted will affect my Uk license when I’m home.

Hey, my understanding on this is that the only country that you have to worry about is Ireland - if you were banned there, then you'd be banned here too.

I think you're fine here. That's my understanding anyway. I'd probably call the DVLA anonymously and ask them a 'hypothetical' question, unless someone on here has a definitive answer that is.

It wouldn’t even show up on UK DBS background check, so I don’t think you have anything to be worried about.
