Any police people around?

I want to ask a question about drink driving. Does anyone know if you lose your licence immediately if your caught drink driving a second time within a few years? Am in Scotland.

Bump

Yes .

I hope so.

Brilliant. Are you absolutely sure babbi?

Doesn't it take a few weeks to go to court before you lose it? I'm hoping it's an immediate thing, once you are breathalysed and fail it.

I lost mine many decades ago and I only lost it after court. So about a month later and enough time to past my test. It was a first offense though.

When you say immediate, do you mean before court?

Cross post. No, the norm is to carry on driving until found guilty at court. Sorry if that's not what you hoped for.

What I mean is when it's a second time being caught, would it go to court much quicker than the first time and you'd lose it quicker?

No, same process. They don't escalate repeat offending

No, they will most likely be given an undertaking to appear at court usually within 28 days or so.

I suspect someone has lost their licence for a second time and is pretending they aren't driving as their car us in the garage..... I know I can't but I wish to god I could find out.
