Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the merits of the use of the exceptional hardship exception for the sentencing of drivers who would otherwise be disqualified from driving.
This question was answered on 2nd May 2019
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is responsible for maintaining a record of all GB fixed penalties and court ordered driving licence endorsements. Sentencing, including the imposition and length of a driving disqualification, is a matter for the courts.
