Endorsements and Driving Work

Hey all

I brought up a discussion a few months ago regarding a Dr10 on my license and getting a driving job. Thanks for everyone who gave me the excellent advice-links before but I need some more help. I will run through this for anyone who missed that post.

I was convicted of drink driving in 1998, I have not drove up until now. I recently applied to get my license back, which I have now, an endorsement DR10 was put on it. I have applied for many driving jobs but have not had much success because of the endorsement. As far as I know(now) A conviction for drink driving is spent after 5 years under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 but it remains on the license for a further 6 years for rehabilitation purposes only. I know that insurers will-should only ask for motoring offences in the last 5 years, regardless of any endorsements which is the case when I took my insurance out online I was not asked to disclose it. Hers a link to a article which is very informative, thanks to the op.

Right, if this is the case, I applied for a job for a large company for a driving job, here is my response.

Dear *****

Thank you very much for you very much blah blah blah.

Unfortunately we cannot accept any candidates with more than 3 points or a Dr Offence on their license, due to insurance reasons.

Your sincerely

What do you make of this? where do I stand? Who should I get onto? Any advice I would be appreciate.

Thanks
