As more and more ‘Notices of Intended Prosecution’ drop through letter boxes after the unsuspecting motorist has triggered a speed trap at 32 mph, we appreciate the anguish that this can cause.
Our team has extensive experience in assisting those facing prosecutions for all types of road traffic offences. Through our efforts, many have managed to keep their driving licences, especially when their job or business depended upon it. Our specialist motoring lawyers are committed to obtaining the best result for you.
Driving Licence Restoration
If you have been disqualified from driving for over two years, you can make an application to the court for the removal of that disqualification. We have successfully secured the return of many clients’ licences.From offences of drink driving to causing death by dangerous driving, you may still be eligible for the courts to consider restoring your licence and we can assist.
Penalty Points Disqualification (Totting up)
If you collect twelve points in a three year period the court can disqualify you. We have many satisfied clients whom our experienced staff have helped to avoid disqualification. There are many arguments that can potentially be advanced on your behalf, so before you simply accept a disqualification, speak to us and increase your chances of retaining your licence.
With speed cameras becoming an integral part of our roads, more and more people are falling foul of the ‘totting up’ provisions. Even for the most conscientious driver, travelling just over the speed limit can have potentially devastating effects.With each speeding offence carrying at least 3 points, it may be a short trip from a clean licence to potential disqualification.
Speeding
A conviction for speeding carries at least 3 penalty points and at worst an instant disqualification. By taking advantage of our free initial consultation, you will receive expert advice on all aspects of your case, including whether the allegation of speeding will withstand the scrutiny of the Court.Often, motorists simply accept that they are guilty and suffer the consequences. However, in some instances the police do not use accurate information and endorsements and fines can be avoided.
If however you risk disqualification due to the speed you were travelling or due to the fact that you will have 12 points or more on your licence after a conviction we can help. We understand that most people need to drive for work and their livelihood depends upon it. We will ensure that the Magistrates appreciate that too. We have a proven track record in assisting people to avoid disqualification.
If you have concerns, before simply accepting penalty points talk to us - we may help you to avoid disqualification completely.
Drink Driving
Being convicted of driving whilst over the prescribed limit can have devastating effects, especially if you must drive to earn a living.Our vast experience in this area of law means that we can often assist in reducing, removing or even avoiding disqualifications.
We will assign a motoring specialist to navigate the minefield of case law and legislation so that nothing is overlooked when advising someone accused of drink driving. Our skilled team member will consider every aspect of your case and if a disqualification is inevitable we will ensure that the lowest possible disqualification is imposed to limit the damage.
In some cases, Public Funding (formerly known as ‘Legal Aid’) is available, especially when there is a legal argument. Your licence is at stake - by calling us you may avoid a costly defeat.
