Question:

12 points on driving license auto Ban, can you still drive plant machinery?

Hi allI wonder if anyone out there has the answer to my question.My son got caught yesterday driving whilst on his mobile.. and yep he got caught by the police. He already has 9 points on his license so these 3 new points for using the mobile are going to automatically ban him for a year.He works as a ground worker and drives machinery ie: dumper truck and roller etcDoes anyone know if he can still drive the machinery???And ideas about how he may get off the 3 points.. can he take a course or something?Any ideas are gratefully accepted.Many thanks

Answer:

He needs to do everything he can to avoid those points. His companies insurance may not allow him to drive any of the company vehicles (on road or off) with a suspended license.
Not if he has to drive any of the equipment on public roads, because he won't have a license. The only way out is not to get those 3 points, and your only hope is a good attorney. It won't be cheap, but it will be better than losing his job.
