6 possible consequences disqualification from driving

#2 community service

For some traffic violations that result in a license suspension, you may also be ordered to perform community service. The severity of your sentence depends on the danger you caused and whether you have previously been caught speeding or driving under the influence. If you cause an accident resulting in injury or death while under the influence of alcohol or driving at excessive speeds, you may be sentenced to community service or even imprisonment. For driving under the influence, community service sentences of up to 240 hours are often imposed.

#3 Cancellation auto insurance

A driver’s license suspension often has major consequences for your car insurance. When you receive a suspension, insurers have the right to cancel your policy. While your license is suspended, you’re obviously not allowed to drive, but once the suspension ends, you’ll likely want to get back behind the wheel. Your car must be insured at that time. If the insurer cancels your car insurance due to your suspension, you’ll need to purchase a new policy before you can get back on the road. However, getting new car insurance also comes with its own set of challenges.

#4 Can no longer insure car if disqualification is on it

If you have a driving ban, few traditional insurance companies will insure you. Whether you can get car insurance from a traditional insurance company depends on:

• How long the driving disqualification lasts
• On what date the driving disqualification was imposed
• Why the driving disqualification was imposed

At Alpina, we always try to place you with a standard insurer at standard rates first, but this isn’t always possible. If that doesn’t work out, you can always turn to De Vereende. De Vereende specializes in insuring special risks and claims. Due to their broad underwriting policy, they generally accept everyone. This means that even people with a record of a driver’s license suspension, a criminal record, ora history of non-payment can take out insurance here. However, this comes with some additional costs. For example, you’ll pay a higher premium at De Vereende than at other companies. You’ll also need to pay three months’ premium in advance. Finally, you’ll pay a security deposit.

#5 Getting a driver's license again

Is this the second time in 5 years that you’ve had your license suspended for driving under the influence? Or are you refusing to cooperate with an alcohol test (breathalyzer or blood test)? If so, you fall under the so-called repeat offender policy, and your driver’s license will be revoked. In that case, you’ll have to get your driver’s license again. That means you’ll have to retake the written exam, pass the road test again, and undergo a medical and psychological evaluation by the CBR before you’re allowed back on the road.

#6 CIS registration

The Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management has approved the registration of driving disqualifications in theCIS Foundation’s database. This is because it is crucial for insurers to know whether a person’s driver’s license has ever been revoked. After someone has been issued such a suspension, the data is provided by the Public Prosecution Service, and the individual remains registered with the Central Information System Foundation for five years. A CIS registration affects your car insurance.
