Removal of Competition Licences when disqualified
from holding or obtaining a Road Traffic Act driving licence
The
Board of Motorsport UK confirms that disqualification from holding or
obtaining a driving licence under the Road Traffic Acts (‘RTA’)
following conviction for offences under that legislation is
incompatible with the holding of an ASN Competition Licence.
This
incompatibility is a combination of the regulatory requirements of the
sport in respect of the highest standards of conduct and behaviour,
potentially bringing motorsport into disrepute and the alignment of the
ASN with and support of the FIA programmes for action on road safety in
a global context.
The
Board confirms that the following applies to any person disqualified
from holding or obtaining a RTA driving Licence following conviction
under that legislation:
The licences of all persons so disqualified
under the RTA are hereby withdrawn pursuant to NCR Chapter H. Art.
3.1.2 and
The fact of RTA disqualification must be
voluntarily immediately reported to the Licensing Department of
the ASN and
Failure to self-report is a breach of the
National Competition Rules (‘NCR’) under Chapter C Articles 1.1.2
(b) and 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 and will result in an automatic referral
to the independent National Court by the Disciplinary Officer with
interim suspension under Chapter A. Arts. 2.2.1.3 and 2.2.1.4 and
the penalty may be to double the period of suspension and
The consequence of the RTA disqualification is
that the right to be granted and or to hold a Competition Licence
under the NCR shall be automatically suspended from the date of
that disqualification and that suspension shall expire on the same
date as the entitlement to hold an RTA Licence is restored.
Therefore
all Competition Licence holders currently disqualified from holding a
RTA Licence must immediately report this to the Licensing Department
and surrender the physical licence. The ASN reserves the right to call
for evidence of the date of expiry of any RTA disqualification.
Kind regards, Motorsport UK
