The severity of the disqualification could escalate, with the ban stretching to 12 months if it's the driver's second disqualification within three years, and a further two-year ban for a third offence within the same period.
If your disqualification period is less than 56 days, there's no need to retake your driving test or reapply for a new licence.
In this scenario, you may also have to retake your driving test or take an extended driving test, though the court will inform you if this is necessary.
The DVLA will send out a reminder notice 56 days before your disqualification ends, which you can use to apply for a new provisional driving licence.
If you're disqualified due to an offence related to driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the consequences could be far more severe than just a driving ban.
