Hi everyone. 7 years ago I was caught behind the wheel over the limit, fined and banned for 1 year. After regaining my license I took my hgv test and managed by some miracle to get a job driving trucks straight away. I lost my job 2 weeks ago and I'm struggling to find employment driving and feel like im been unfairly treated and wondered if anybody has any info. My Dr10 conviction is 7 year old so classed as spent when I perform a licence check using the code as a employer would do it comes back as a clean license. But every single driving agency doesn't use the code and uses my information to log into my personal driving license details and sees the dr10, and I'm promptly asked to leave. They tell me there clients have 10 year policys on dr10s and I'm really at a loss to what to do. I phoned the DVLA who told me there not allowed to look at that and must use the check code but nobody does. I don't see how there insurance can have a 10 year policy on dr10s when it's spent after 5. Sorry for rambling but just really struggling at the moment. Thanks for any help in advance
