Regulation 5 Effect of driving disqualification order

Where a driving disqualification order^f1 is made in respect of an offender who is the holder of a driving licence, the driving licence must be treated as being revoked with effect from the beginning of the disqualification period.

Where the disqualification is for a fixed period shorter than 56 days (disregarding any extension period), paragraph (1) does not prevent the driving licence from again having effect at the end of the disqualification period (including any extension period).

Where the offender appeals against the order and the disqualification is suspended under regulation 6 or 7, the disqualification period must be treated for the purposes of paragraph (1) as beginning on the day on which the disqualification ceases to be suspended.
