Driving Whilst Disqualified

A person is guilty of an offence if he drives a vehicle on a road or gets a licence whilst disqualified from holding or getting a driving licence.

Driving while disqualified is a strict liability offence. It is unnecessary for the prosecution to prove that the defendant knew he was disqualified.

The prosecution would have to establish the following:

That the defendant was disqualified at the relevant time.

That the disqualification relates to the defendant.

That the defendant was driving.
