Under the sentencing guidelines credit for guilty plea does not reduce the driving ban, which state as follows

‘The guideline applies only to the punitive elements of the sentence and has no impact on ancillary orders including orders of disqualification from driving’

In other words if you plead guilty your fine or community service may be reduced for credit for guilty plea but your driving ban will not be affected. You therefore have nothing to lose by pleading not guilty in terms of the length of the driving ban should you wish to to put forward your case to avoid a criminal conviction and/ or driving ban.
