Sections 34A and 34B of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 give courts in designated areas the power to order that a period of disqualification imposed on a person convicted of a drink-drive offence be reduced, if he completes a course approved by the Secretary of State. Section 31 of the Road Traffic Act 1991 applies those provisions during an experimental period which runs to the end of 1999.",
