I think if you have 2 years off the road you can apply after 1 year and if you have 3 years then you can apply after 2. I'm applying end of month after 2 years.

You can apply for your licence back but given it's your second conviction I think you have a high chance of being dissappointed.

You could apply after half time but could only get back after 2/3 that was to allow time for matter to get to court. In relation to 2 year ban you could not apply for early restoriation unless ban was longer than 2 years hence why some judges gave 2 years and 1 day. The 2010 Act changed matters in relation to 2 year and 1 day bans for any bans and events after 1st June 2011 (I think was the date) the formula is now 2/3 of ban or 2 years off the road served which ever is the greater. So only 3 year or greater will get a restoration.

67.— (1) Section 29 (inserted by section 7 of the Act of 2006) of the Principal Act is amended by substituting for subsection (4) the following:

“(4) Where a court considers it to be appropriate the court may—

(a) confirm the period specified in the order of disqualification, or

(b) order the removal of the disqualification from a specified date that is such that the disqualification will have effect for a least two-thirds of the period specified in the order of disqualification, or a period of 2 years, whichever is the greater.”.

(2) Section 19 of the Act of 1968 is repealed.

You'd want to be able to show you've dealt with your drink problem if you are to have any chance

My apologies I thought they had a policy of "not looking into people's past" hence my €4000 excess!!!

Good point.

It is amazing that so many people with drink driving convictions don't believe that they have a drinking problem.

Hi GMROCKS, I am just wondering how you got on with the licence restoration?
