What are the possible penalties for a drink driving motoring offence?
The drink driving law in the UK dictates that any drink driving offences carry a mandatory driving disqualification, which means you could lose your driving licence from 12 months to three years upwards, depending on the seriousness of the offence.
Alongside a driving ban, you’ll face a financial penalty, too, as well as possible community service and even a prison sentence, depending on the offence.
What other issues can you face with a drink driving charge in Bromley?
Once your driving disqualification period has ended, you must inform vehicle insurance companies about the offence, which will lead to a higher premium on your car insurance.
You will also receive an endorsement on your license that will last for 11 years. This mark will appear on all searches against your driving licence for the full 11 years, showing that you’ve been convicted of a drink driving offence.
Your employer can also see the conviction on your licence if you have a driving job, and it can impact travel to other countries, depending on the offence.
