<p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency’s (DVLA) role is to update and maintain
the drivers’ database with driving endorsements, including disqualifications, that
are imposed by the courts. The DVLA will amend information on an individual’s driver
record when it receives authorisation to do so from the court.</p><p> </p><p>There
are 173,432 drivers on the DVLA’s database whose disqualification period has been
reduced by the court following the completion of a rehabilitation course for an alcohol
related driving offence in the last ten years.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, there are
317 drivers where the courts have asked the DVLA to remove a disqualification in the
last ten years. This occurs where an individual has successfully applied to the court
that originally dealt with the offence to have the disqualification removed.</p>
