A SURVEY OF DISQUALIFIED DRIVERS INVESTIGATED THE FREQUENCY OF VIOLATION OF THE SANCTION AND ALSO REASONS FOR VIOLATIONS. IT WAS FOUND THAT 36% OF SURVEY RESPONDENTS ADMITTED DRIVING AT SOME TIME DURING THEIR DISQUALIFICATION, AND THAT 40% OF THESE OFFENDERS ADMITTED DRIVING MORE THAN 20 TIMES WHILE DISQUALIFIED. THE MOST COMMON REASONS FOR DRIVING WERE 'EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES', AND BUSINESS OR EMPLOYMENT REASONS. MOST OF THE RESPONDENTS INDICATED THAT LICENCE DISQUALIFICATION CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT DISRUPTION OF THEIR LIFE STYLES.(Author/publisher).
