The High Risk Offenders Scheme

Your driving licence won’t be returned automatically at the end of a driving ban if you’re a ‘high risk offender’. You’ll only get your licence back if you pass a medical examination.

  • refused to give the police a sample of breath, blood or urine to test for alcohol
  • refused to allow a sample of your blood to be tested for alcohol (eg if it was taken when you were unconscious)
Other problems you could face

A conviction for drink-driving also means:

  • if you drive for work, your employer will see your conviction on your licence
  • you may have trouble travelling to countries like the USA
