Consequences of losing your licence

A driving ban can result in a number of serious consequences. Many people end up losing their job, or if self employed cannot serve potential customers or clients. There is a great effect on anyone who has a family, and children especially suffer if they rely on their parents for transport to school and other activities. There can be other effects on older relatives who need support with mobility. There is also often an increased insurance premium which lasts for years after the conviction. For people who simply love driving, being deprived of that freedom is very frustrating.
