If you can convince them in court that you really need your licence for the sake of your kids If you have any lol, they can shorten the ban, my brother got caught at 98 mph instead of the ban he was suppost to get, he got 4 weeks ban. That was because his income relied on driving and at the time he had 2 kids one was just a 2 years old and the other 7/8. Merry Christmas! Maybe, happy new year too
