Exceptional Hardship v Totting Ban
The difference between totting up and exceptional hardship lies in their legal contexts and implications regarding driving disqualifications in the UK:
Totting Up:
- Totting up refers to the accumulation of penalty points on a driving license, leading to a temporary ban if a driver reaches 12 or more points within a specific period.
- When an individual accumulates 12 or more points, a minimum period of disqualification must be imposed, ranging from six months to two years based on previous disqualifications.
- The totting up system focuses on the automatic imposition of a driving ban based on the number of accumulated points within a specified timeframe.
Exceptional Hardship:
- Exceptional hardship is a legal argument that can be presented to the court to either reduce or avoid a driving disqualification resulting from totting up.
- It refers to suffering or inconvenience beyond what is considered appropriate, caused by certain circumstances, and must be supported by evidence demonstrating the significant impact of a driving ban.
- Exceptional hardship arguments aim to mitigate the impact of disqualifications based on specific circumstances that go beyond the norm, such as job loss, caring responsibilities, or health issues.
