Driving disqualification
Have you been given a driving disqualification? Then this can have unpleasant consequences for your motor insurance, such as car insurance. There are many different reasons why you could be banned from driving, for example for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. We explain you when you get a driving disqualification and how you can still get an insurance with a driving disqualification.
When do you get a driving disqualification?
A driving disqualification means that you are not allowed to drive a motor vehicle for a certain period of time. A driving disqualification is not only valid for a car, but for all motorized vehicles. You can get a driving disqualification if you:
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Driving more than 50 kilometres per hour too fast
- Causing danger or nuisance on the road
- Driving an uninsured car
- Driving while disqualified or with an invalid driving licence
- Driving on after causing an accident
The police, a public prosecutor or a judge can impose a driving disqualification on you. This driving disqualification can be for a few days, a few weeks, a few months or sometimes even for a number of years.

Suppose you commit a serious traffic offence in Germany and are subsequently banned from driving. Penalties such as a driving disqualification only apply in the country in which the offence was committed. So if you get a driving disqualification in Germany you are allowed to drive in the Netherlands. However, in Germany you are not allowed to drive a motor vehicle, not even to drive back to the Netherlands. For a driving disqualification or another traffic offence in Germany, no points are added to the Dutch beginner's driving licence or points driving licence.
Alcohol driving disqualification
If you drive on the road under the influence of alcohol, you can cause major damage. Not only to your own vehicle or yourself, but also to others or other people's possessions. If you are caught with too much alcohol on you will be banned from driving. Do you drive under the influence of alcohol damage? Then it is possible that your insurer will not compensate the damage and may even cancel the insurance. An insurer may have an alcohol clause. An alcohol clause means that the insurer compensates the damage for the other party, but that you subsequently have to pay these costs back to your insurer.

Driving disqualification driving without a licence
Driving without a licence is not normally a crime. Driving without a VALID driving licence, on the other hand, is a criminal offence. Getting into a car without a valid driving licence can result in a driving disqualification if you are caught. In addition, you are not insured in this case. Do you cause damage while driving a vehicle without a valid driving licence? Then all costs are for your own account. Damage to a motor vehicle can be substantial, even if you only hit a pole.

- The duration of the driving disqualification
- The date of the driving disqualification
- The reason for the driving disqualification
