Licence
I'm a 35 year old male and have had a disqualified drivers license for many years now, I've turned my life around in the last 2 years and know of people in the past that have had work or probationary licences. So my question is, is there still such a thing as a probationary or work license and if so what do u need to have or be doing in order to qualify for one of these? Any information that you can provide me in relation to this matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Yours Sincerely
Hi there.
In NSW there is no specific option under the driver licensing laws for a person who has been disqualified to receive a “work license” or restricted license of any kind. In other states there may be the possibility of applying for a special “work license”, or a license which allows you to drive to your place of work only. In NSW, under section 10 of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 a person apply to the Court to ask them to prevent the recording of a conviction and/or prevent the imposition of a penalty despite a finding of guilt. Sometimes people make applications under this section in order that they may preserve their license for work purposes. However, because you have already been disqualified this is not an option.
