Can I get my licence back before the disqualification ends?

After an offence-free period you may be able to apply to the Local Court to remove a disqualification early. Here is how Court Pilot describes it.

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.
