Yes folks that's what I mean, were I to be banned then I wouldn't take a blind bit of notice of such a ban. If my vehicle was essential to my work then I would use it regardless. Cue gasps of horror and moral indignation.....
When faced with the choice of unemployment, loss of home and potential bankruptcy, the gamble of driving cautiously but illegally for the period of the ban seems a damned attractive one to me. All of this is hypothetical of course as I work from home, but we aren't exactly dealing with a level playing field out there are we. Where's Chris Huhne for example? Still has his license yet doesn't he. Same goes for umpteen high profile cases that have used their influence to swing it for them, so I'm f*cked if I'd lose everything on the call of a magistrate simply because I don't have such influence.
