providing you haven't been fined for drink driving or dangerous driving you should not if its only speeding. But you will need to attend court to put your case to the magistrate's
Explain that you drive for a living and need it to carry on working.
Good luck

You may be able to convince the magistrates' that you need your driving licence as this is your only source of income. Get a letter from your employer, if at all possible, giving you a good character reference and the fact that he will be unable to employ you in another capacity within the company. On the other hand the magistrates' may feel that you should have been a lot more careful with your driving if you rely on your driving licence for your income. It can work both ways. A letter from your employer will go a long way in convincing SOME magistrates' that they should give you another chance. Best of luck with this one.

It is possible to keep it, but only at the judge's discretion. You should go to court, plead guilty and express how dependant you are on your car and your income, with a letter from your work describing your need for a licence. However there are a number of cases they will not allow such as drink / drug driving or death by dangerous driving. Good Luck!

Are you interior the united kingdom? if so, you may pass to courtroom and attempt pleading 'smart concern'. the undeniable fact that your interest is at risk isn't seen to be 'smart concern', yet whilst, say the roles of others may well be at risk in case you lose your licence, you have particular family contributors problems - a handicapped new child, elderly dad and mom it is recommended to transport approximately, working example - then you definitely may well be in with a raffle. although, whether you be ready to plead sucessfully, remember that:- a) the standards stay on your licence b) you may not use the 'smart concern' plea a 2d time. meaning which you may not arise with the money for to be caught dashing returned as you're able to immediately lose your licence.

If you are a professinal driver and have 12 points I'd say you're not very good at your profession. You can plead with the judge and on rare occasions it has worked, but it's the norm to lose it with 12 points.
Harsh, but ultimately fair.

Yes there is a very good chance, but unless you are pretty good and convincing with the 'verbals' it would be a very good idea to get a decent solicitor!
Well worth lashing out a few quid to keep your job.
