How to Get License Back after Disqualification in London
Your driving license may be revoked for any reason whatsoever (maybe because the due date has passed or because of a temporary disqualification under law for drinking and driving) but you can get the license back after the period of disqualification has ended.
The license may be renewed up to 56 days before your disqualification period ends. And it is obvious that without a driving license, even if you have a Lamborghini parked in your driveway, it will be useless, for you will not be able to breathe in the luxurious interior it provides besides the comfortable drive.
DVLA, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency will send a ‘driving license application for renewal after disqualification’ to prior to your disqualification ends, and within 56 days.
