After an order has been made by the Court granting you an EDL, you must attend a licensing branch of the Department of Transport. Upon payment of a fee, proof of identification and meeting any other Department of Transport requirements, the licence will be issued. It is only when the Department of Transport gives the licence that you can resume driving and only do so following the conditions of the EDL.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-color uagb-block-0e5c4fcf ctasec\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\">\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-columns uagb-columns__wrap uagb-columns__background-none uagb-columns__stack-mobile uagb-columns__valign-center uagb-columns__gap-10 align uagb-block-ff31cb0f uagb-columns__columns-2 uagb-columns__max_width-theme\"><div class=\"uagb-columns__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-columns__inner-wrap uagb-columns__columns-2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-column uagb-column__wrap uagb-column__background-undefined uagb-block-6cadee46\"><div class=\"uagb-column__overlay\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hoe-lawyers-is-committed-to-upholding-the-legal-profession-with-a-team-of-legal-specialists-dedicated-to-dealing-with-all-aspects-of-traffic-law\" style=\"font-size:37px\"><strong><strong>Hoe Lawyers is committed to upholding the legal profession with a team of legal specialists dedicated to dealing with all aspects of traffic law.<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An Extraordinary Driver\u2019s Licence (EDL) can allow someone disqualified from driving to drive in certain circumstances. It is granted at the discretion of the court and subject to rigid conditions. The need for a dedicated and experienced legal professional can help you navigate the finer details of your application for a smoother process. Depending on your convictions, you might also need to comply with the Alcohol Interlock Scheme conditions from the Department of Transport before you can drive under the EDL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is safe
