If you are disqualified from driving, and you feel the punishment is too severe then do not take a chance by driving during the period of the ban.
Instead lodge your appeal and go via the proper channels. Although it is not impossible to do this on your own, if you have not already instructed a solicitor/lawyer this is probably the time to do so.

If your case was initially dealt with in the Magistrates’ Court, your right of appeal is to the Crown Court.
At that hearing a Judge will review the merits of the case and can either uphold the original decision, rescind it there and then or send the case back to the Magistrates’ Court to have it re–heard.

It is also possible to get the disqualification suspended pending the hearing of the appeal.
You will need to apply immediately to the Magistrates’ Court for the disqualification to be suspended.
You can do this as soon as the Magistrates case is concluded or any time thereafter prior to the Crown Court hearing.
However, you can only drive if the Magistrates grant your application.
