On the 6th of May i received a 30 day disqualification from driving, had to surrender my licence to the court who said they would send it to the DVLA then back to me.

I make 30 days from the 6th of May the 4th of June which is this thursday (Im including the 6th as they banned me from the afternoon thereof). Does that mean from midnight on thursday (technically friday morning) i can ride, even though i have not received my licence back?

I would hate to have waited the month and then get caught for a mix up of which day the ban is over...

Cheers

If I remember correctly my licence came back a week or so before the ban expired with a specific letter saying that I couldn't drive until the date shown on the licence. Might of dreamt that though.

I had a look on the Direct.gov website and they say:

Once DVLA has received your valid application you can drive before you receive your licence as long as you:
Quote:

* have held a Great Britain or Northern Ireland licence issued since 1 January 1976 or another exchangeable licence
* aren’t disqualified from driving (there are different rules for medium or large vehicles, minibus or bus drivers - the traffic commissioner for your area will decide whether to grant your entitlement to drive these vehicles)
* haven’t been refused a licence for medical reasons or for failing to comply with medical enquiries
* wouldn’t be refused a licence for medical reasons (if in doubt, check with your doctor)
* keep to any special conditions which apply to the licence


So friday 00:01 here i come Smile
