A charge of driving contrary to a zero alcohol licence is laid when a motorist drives contrary to the terms of the zero interlock licence. This often occurs when a client drives with alcohol on their breath, whether that be from drinking alcohol that same day and deciding to drive or residual alcohol on their breath from the previous day/night. The charge carries a minimum mandatory driving disqualification period of 6 months. If no defence is available, a client may be eligible for a section 94 application to avoid a further period of disqualification from being imposed.
A charge of driving contrary to a Limited Licence is laid when a motorist drives contrary to the terms of their Limited Licence Order. This often occurs when a client drives outside the hours, days or area they are authorised to drive. Further scenarios include failing to produce the Limited Licence Order if stopped by the police or log or maintain an accurate logbook. The charge carries a minimum mandatory driving disqualification period of 6 months. If no defence is available, a client may be eligible for a section 94 application to avoid a further period of disqualification from being imposed.
