A driving offense becomes "spent" after a specific period defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, which allows individuals to move on from certain convictions without them impacting their future. The duration before an offense is considered spent varies based on the severity of the offense, ranging from a few months to several years. For example, minor offenses might be spent after five years, while more serious convictions can take longer. Once an offense is spent, it generally does not need to be disclosed in most situations, such as Job Applications.
