Can a lifetime ban for driving under the influence of alcohol be lifted?
Hello Ma'am and Sir,
My friend has a case here in the UAE due to property damage caused by drinking while driving, after which he fled.
After one week, the CID caught him and put him in jail, imposing a lifetime ban.
My question is, is it possible to lift his lifetime ban?
Dear Questioner,
Under UAE law, a lifetime ban is a serious punishment and is usually imposed for serious offenses such as murder, drug trafficking, and other serious crimes.
It is not possible to lift a lifetime ban, as it is a permanent restriction on a person's entry into the UAE.
However, your friend may be able to appeal the ban and request a reduction in the ban period.
This can be done by submitting a written appeal to the relevant authorities, along with any supporting documents or evidence that may help in reducing the ban period.
It is important to note that the decision to reduce the ban period is at the discretion of the authorities and there is no guarantee that it will be granted.
Your friend may also seek the assistance of a lawyer to help with the appeal process.
Additionally, your friend may also consider seeking a pardon from the victim or their family, as this may also help in reducing the ban period.
However, this is also not guaranteed and will depend on the willingness of the victim or their family to forgive and withdraw the case.
It is important for your friend to take responsibility for their actions and cooperate with the authorities in order to have a chance at reducing the ban period.
Dear Client,
Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.
The concern for your friend is understandable. DUI and property damage in the UAE can result in lifelong bans.
Your acquaintance would need to appeal to the Traffic Department or Traffic Court and show mitigating circumstances or rehabilitation attempts to lift a lifetime driving ban.
Evidence of guilt, alcohol awareness programs, and a promise to follow road regulations are usually required.
