Decent ideas include: Complete a traffic safety course, realize that traffic laws are there for a reason, and if she can't obey the law, find cheap public transportation. That all probably sounds cold, but truth hurts. The police didn't go "looking" for her specifically, she got caught doing the wrong thing. |

hate to say it, but rules are rules, she should have thoght about that and had a bit more consideration for the law.

She should have thought of the consequences before gossiping on her mobile phone. |

Glad she is off the road; she has got off lightly - hasn't killed anyone or herself. It freaked me when I wrote a car off with a lapse of concentration. I wasn't even on my phone. It freaked me so much I went on a defensive driving course to improve myself. |

it does not matter what she got the points for they are on her licence and you can not fight it
she will need to redo he test
just think of what you are asking
using a mobile is against the law as running a red light, thats the reason she got the points next time she might be paying more attention hopefully as when she ran the red light she could have killed someone and could be serving time in prison not just the loss of her licence |

tell her to get a bus?
mobile phone use whilst driving causes death, as does running red lights, so she sould be off the roads....other's are now safer!! |

sorry, tha's the law. Suggest yer tell her not to use a mbile while drivin' and not to jump red lights. Too late ter do anythin' now. |

Well, assume now she is walking (alot)... Would it be okay if I ran a bunch of stop signs while driving around in your neighborhood. I don't think so; "she didn't have a drivers license, she was manslaughter waiting to happen" !
A drivers license is a privilege not a right! |

Use public transport ljke the rest of us.If you do the crime serve the time.Maybe she'll think twice about breaking the law next time. |

It's the law.. she'll have to deal with it!!!
very surprised you think she has a right to be different to anyone else. I lost my license too and had to get on with it..(also had to change jobs)
She will hopefully learn by her mistakes like the rest of us. |

"It is absolutely essential that she has a licence to get to work..."
No it isn't.
If it was genuinely essential, she wouldn't have run a red light, or have been using her mobile whilst driving, would she? |

You could stress the importance of having a license for your Daughters Work needs. But Running a Red light is a serious thing so its not likely to help.
But this also could be a valuable lesson for your daughter. |

she shouldn't use her phone then should she or run red lights tell her to get her act together and follow the rules of the road they're there for every-ones safety so LMAO LOST HER LICENCE HAHAHAHAHAHAHA |

I've an idea. Perhaps she should have realised how important her licence was and not racked up the points.
If i was her parent, i woudl be looking forward to the ban in the hope it teaches her something because it seems the points system doesn't.
She broke the law, she needs to pay. What is there to appeal ? tell her to take responsiblity for her actions.
people who think they shouldn't pay or are "special cases" get me a tad frustrated. |

Sorry, but no sympathy here. She shouldn't have been using the cell phone if it's illegal to do so. Good opportunity for her (and you, apparently) to learn that actions have consequences. Stop trying to beat the system and get her out of trouble - make her accountable for her situation. |

Ok, no judge is going to grant your daughter a hardship license knowing that she likes to talk on the phone and drive. She obviously can't do both at once otherwise she wouldn't have run a red light. I agree with the above answers. She doesn't need to be on the road.... she's a morale hazard to herself and everyone else on the road. She can take public transportation or carpool.
One more thing, if a license is revoked... you don't get it back! |

There is no appeal. The offences are absolute and mandatory and the penalty prescribed by law. Your daughter will have to regain a provisional licence and retake theory and practical tests to regain a 'full' licence. The points of course, will be carried forward and remain on her licence for 4 years before she can apply to have them removed. Like any offender, she should have considered the consequences before commiting the offences. A drivers' licence is a priveledge not a divine right! |

Unfortunately, like a lot of other people, you think that your daughter should be exempt from the laws that the rest of us have to obey.
She will get no sympathy from me as she has blatantly broken the law, particularly in respect of the mobile phone issue.
Perhaps she will realise that hands free kits, although not the ultimate solution, are a lot cheaper than the extra costs she will face for transport fares while she doesn't have her licence and of course the additional insurance premium that she will have to pay if / when she does get behind the wheel again. |
|
Please punctuate properly folks.
|
Yeah here's a decent idea. I have been driving for 25 years, with a clean licence, and no accidents. I don't run red-lights, and my mobile stays in the boot when I drive. Tell your daughter to think about following my example.
Why is your daughter expected to be exempt from the laws that try to keep us safe on the roads? I'm delighted she is banned. |

Not being nasty...but the law is there for a reason! The idea is that these inexperienced drivers who commit offences are penalised. Otherwise EVERYONE could argue that they 'really' need their license to get to work/college/where ever.
If her license is so important then I suggest she learns what the stop light means...it's there for a damn good reason and as for the mobile offence...serves her bloody right...NO call is too important that it can't wait until you pull over!
Decent ideas would be to get a bus time table or a pushbike....and learn to not be so bloody stupid before she gets her license back...otherwise she's putting herself and every other road user near her at risk. Beleive me she doesn't want to have to go through life with the death of a small child on her conscience because she was using her mobile...or would you just argue that the call was absolutely essential? |

Unfortunately, these are actions that she chose to do, and she knew what she was doing when she was doing them. There are laws for running red lights, and with the mobile phones, there are laws in some states and some parts of Canada, that don't allow cell phones. In order for her to get her licence back, she may have to either take the written exam again for her to go through the theoretical knowledge again, or she will have to take the driver's test again to prove that she can get through these situations. If she successfully passes those two things then they will probably give her the licence back, but she may have to drive with a certified adult for a while. |

If this is CA, not likely that any type of appeal will get her punishment reduced- especially if she was under 18 when she committed these offenses.
Driving is not a right- states are not required by any laws to allow you a license. It is a privilege given by the state & can be suspended/revoked when you do not follow the rules.
Nor are they required to give her a restricted work only license like one poster stated- again there is no right to drive.
She was irresponsible, thumbed her nose to the laws of the road & placed herself & others at risk by running a stop light. She needs to find work within walking distance, memorize all of the public transportation schedules or someone will need to drive her to & from work every day.
Most likely once her revocation period has passed, she can re-apply for her license. Until then she walks, takes public transportation or hops a ride with someone. |

I should try citizens advice see what they can come up with if they can give you an address maybe you can get your local councillor or someone of that ilk to write a letter on her behalf
I'm not condoning nor will I be critical of your daughters misdemeanours so I have tried to answer the question as a way forward for her |
