Driving Whilst Disqualified
A person is guilty of an offence if he drives a vehicle on a road or obtains a licence whilst disqualified from holding or obtaining a driving licence.
Driving while disqualified is a strict liability offence. It is not necessary for the prosecution to prove that the defendant knew that 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.
