BAs soon as any court-imposed driving disqualification has ended
COne year after the date of revocation
DOnce he has paid a reinstatement fee to TfL
EOnce he has obtained a satisfactory medical certificate
✓ Correct answer: A. Five years after the date of revocationTfL's policy requires that a driver whose licence is revoked for drink-driving wait five years from the revocation date before submitting a fresh application.
Why the other options are incorrect:
• As soon as any court-imposed driving disqualification has ended: TfL imposes a fixed five-year waiting period; reapplying immediately after a court disqualification ends is not permitted.
• One year after the date of revocation: A one-year wait does not satisfy TfL's drink-driving reapplication policy.
• Once he has paid a reinstatement fee to TfL: Paying a fee does not reduce or replace the mandatory five-year waiting period.
• Once he has obtained a satisfactory medical certificate: Although a medical certificate may be required as part of a future application, it does not waive the five-year waiting period.
