driving ban

License temporarily revoked

A driving ban is a legal prohibition against operating a motor vehicle, typically imposed by a court as punishment for traffic offenses like drunk driving or accumulating too many violations: He received a two-year driving ban after his third DUI.

The term also refers to broader restrictions, such as a city's driving ban during severe pollution events.
