Hi,im a trainee class 2 wanna be driver.I have a DR10 on my license wich is now eight years old.How hard or easy would it be for me to find work?? 
any advise would be appreciated.lol
Wouldn’t like to say to be honest mate, from what I’ve seen you’re in for a tough time - anyone can make a mistake though and a lot can change in 8yrs. 12yrs ago I’d’ve guessed I’d be in prison or dead by now 
Best of luck.
Good luck with that one.
I’d say pretty hard, but not impossible, all you can do is try, admit it was bad mistake and hope someone gives you a break, but also insurence would be hard!!!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news mate, but a DR10 will keep all, if not the vast majority, of doors firmly shut. The main reason is the insurance.
Agencies, for instance, won’t touch even highly experienced drivers if they’ve got a DR10.
Best of luck once you’ve passed, but it sounds like you’ll need to rough things out until it’s cleared from your licence.
DR10 sounds serious. It’s not going to be easy because even if companies or agencies wanted to take advantage knowing how hard it is for you to find work, insurance companies still wouldn’t have it.
For class 2 training, I saw this today
and thought it might be interesting to someone. Notice it is direct with the company. I haven’t rang them, but for anyone in the east london area who wants thier class 2 /1 funded, it might be worth a look.
stay safe.

You can’t really link to jobs on the Job-centre website, it’s best to give the job number so people can search for it

Given the current work situation I would have to advise you to save your money until the D10 is cleared off your licence, it will cost you an awful lot of money to gain even a cat C licence and will most likely end without even an offer of a job, to be honest even if you did manage to get a job it would almost certainly be one no-one else wants.
I would say that your best chance would be if you know someone in the transport industry who would be prepared to give you a chance, apart from that I’m afraid I doubt that you as a new driver would stand much chance of finding an even half decent driving job witha DR10 on your licence.
Sorry but you did ask
sorry but what is dr10

DR10 is the DVLA code for “Driving or attempting to drive with alcohol level above limit”.
A DR10 on your licence generally means you’ve been convicted of drink driving

If you send your licence off after 3 years (change of address for example) they usually come back with them removed. I have removed 2 speeding offences this way even though the official line is that they should remain for another 12 months.
