“Kaufman & Co. helped both myself and my clients when it seemed that our licences were at risk. It was their assured presence at court that gave me confidence when I had to appear before the Magistrates since which time I have referred my own clients to them”.

	Although this is a strict liability offence strict proof remains necessary to show that the driver before the court was the same individual who was previously disqualified. Moreover there has to be proof of driving. The defence of necessity may sometimes apply. The offence is treated seriously by the court and is often dealt with by means of custody as it amounts to ignoring a court order. Further disqualification is a common additional penalty. The court treats Disqualified Driving seriously because it is considered to be deliberately ignoring a court order not to drive! As such it is analogous to a contempt of court and very often results in imprisonment. Even though the period of disqualification may have expired you may still be guilty of disqualified driving where you have been ordered to re-sit your test at the time the fixed period of ban was imposed. In this situation you can still drive at the end of the period as long as you are legal to do so which means that you require: 1) a provisional licence; 2) insurance against third party claims; 3) a full licence holder supervising you; 4) L-Plates. If you drive in contravention of any of these conditions you will not be driving in accordance with your provisional licence and thus be driving whilst disqualified.
