Road Traffic Offences

Most drivers at some point will encounter the criminal justice system for what is usually a minor road traffic offence, for example speeding.

Despite the fact that these offences can be minor, they can sometimes have far reaching consequences for the driver resulting in disqualification and the loss of their driving licence.

It is therefore important that you obtain specialist advice in relation to such matters to try and ensure the best possible outcome for you. Driving may not only affect you and your employment but could have far reaching consequences for your family so it is important to get specialist advice.

If you have received a summons or notice of intended prosecution you should contact us immediately for advice and representation.

How Can we Help?

If you have been summonsed to court, our specialist litigators and advocates can advise you as to the likely outcome of your case and the potential consequences.

Motoring offences are governed by strict procedures and rules. It is very important that these requirements and procedures are followed by the police.

There are often very strict time limits in relation to road traffic offences and a failure to adhere to those time limits can result in a case being withdrawn or discontinued.

The most common offences dealt with by our team are:

  • Speeding
  • Drink driving
  • Careless driving
  • Mobile phone offences
  • Dangerous driving
  • Driving without insurance
  • Driving in accordance of a licence
  • Failing to stop and report an accident
  • Driving whilst disqualified
  • Failure to give identification of the driver (Section 172 Notice)

We have years of experience dealing with this type of case and our is are not limited to the advice you are given and representation in court but skilful negotiation with the prosecution.

Negotiation with the prosecutor can result in cases being withdrawn or discontinued and in some cases reduced in your favour his is something that is often overlooked when considering self-representation.

Are You At Risk Of Disqualification?

The disqualification of driving can be more than simply inconvenient. It can detrimentally effect your life to such an extent that it could affect your employment. This could have a negative impact upon your family and your own situation and therefore potentially challenging a disqualification is hugely important.
