Can I drive to work while I am disqualified or suspended in NSW?
People often expect a 'work licence'. Here is what Court Pilot says about driving during a disqualification, and the lawful routes to getting back on the road.
While you are disqualified you cannot drive at all — there is no work licence and no restricted licence. The ways to reduce time off the road are below.
This is about long disqualifications — several years, or an accumulated or old 'habitual offender' disqualification — rather than the ordinary 3-, 6- or 12-month periods, which simply run their course. If you have stayed offence-free for the required period, you can apply to the Local Court to have the remaining disqualification removed — and getting that application right is worth doing carefully.
Disqualification: Losing your licence so you are not allowed to drive for a set period.
