try writing this again it does not make sense,but if you got banned for 18 months in 1995 for drink driving ,it does stay on for 10 yrs

[NORMANTHEDOG]

sorry i was wrong its 11 yrs

Norman's (second) answer is correct. Just to tidy things up, I'll add that the 11 year period started from the date of your conviction and not from the end of the ban.

thanks does the 18 month ban get added on top of the 11 years so its on my licence for 12 and ahalf years

Er, . . .I thought I'd just answered that ;-)

The 11 year period runs from the date of conviction. The length of the ban is totally irrelevant. So, if your conviction was prior to the end of October in 1995, you can now apply for a new licence. This will be completely 'clean' as long as there aren't any other points on your existing licence. (If you've got any points on your licence for, say, speeding, these will also be removed when the new licence is issued as long as they are more than 4 years old).
