Thankyou. I dont plan on going for a driving role, but would still like to continue with my application. Will this affect me in any other instances?

Put it down on your application and see what come back about it. There may be a role for you

Luke, thank you for question.

Losing your driving licence will have an affect in joining the military. Majority of roles will require you to drive in some capacity whether you are a store man or an infanteer.

The nature of how you have lost your driving licence will determine the outcome, for example. Receiving 6 points as a new driver will have a different affect compared to losing your licence through drink driving etc

Be honest in your application as it will get found out if you aren’t
