Frequently Asked Questions


  • What is a restricted work licence?

    A restricted work licence allows individuals who have had their licence suspended to drive under certain conditions, typically for work purposes. These licences are subject to strict eligibility criteria, including the type of offence and the applicant's personal circumstances.


    They are granted only under specific circumstances where the court deems the application justified.

  • Who is eligible for a restricted work licence?

    Eligibility for a restricted work licence depends on factors such as the nature of the offence, the individual’s driving record, and their need to drive for work. Applicants must meet specific legal criteria and demonstrate that losing their ability to drive would cause hardship.


    Additional requirements, such as not having a prior disqualification within a certain period, may also apply.

  • What is involved in the application process?

    The application process for a restricted work licence includes submitting documentation to the court, outlining the reasons for the request, and attending a court hearing. Applicants must show evidence of their eligibility and comply with legal requirements.


    The court will assess whether the applicant meets the necessary criteria before making a decision.

  • What conditions apply to restricted work licences?

    Restricted work licences come with conditions that limit when and where individuals can drive. These conditions are set by the court and are designed to ensure the licence is used only for the approved purpose.


    Applicants must strictly adhere to these conditions to maintain the validity of the licence. Failure to comply with these conditions can result in penalties or revocation of the licence.
