Drink-drive rehabilitation scheme
Guidance for offenders and courses providers about the drink-drive rehabilitation scheme, the syllabus and statistics on take-up.
Courts in Great Britain can refer someone for a drink-drive rehabilitation course if they’ve been both:
- convicted of a drink-drive related offence under the Road Traffic Act 1988
- banned from driving for at least 12 months
The course aims to change their behaviour to stop reoffending.
The court reduces the length that they’re banned from driving if they complete the course within a certain time. The ban is usually reduced by a quarter.
