Jackie O reveals how she lost her driver's license

Jackie O reveals how she lost her driver's license

Jackie O has revealed the simple road rule she broke that cost her her drivers license many years ago. 

The KIIS FM host revealed live on air that after she was wearing her seatbelt incorrectly, she lost her license. 

"I always wear it over me, but it was just that one day because I had got a tan," Jackie explained to her listeners on Monday morning.

Jackie O said she was put on a 12-month good behaviour period, which means she had been driving with one demerit for a year.

However, in the final week of her restriction, she lost the point just days before earning all her points back.

"I got through the whole year by one week and then lost it," she said.

Jackie then confirmed she lost her license two weeks ago and said she was struggling not being allowed to drive. 

The 50-year-old said she first struggled with not having a license after she had been gifted a trip to the Blue Mountains by her friend Gemma O'Neill for her 50th birthday.

But she questioned how she was going to travel to her weekend away, which is more than 110km away from her home in Sydney's eastern suburbs, now that she is unable to drive herself there.

"Gemma – my best friend – she's given me a weekend away to a silent retreat," she said live on air.

"I'm gonna have to catch the train because it's to the Blue Mountains and I don't have my licence!"
