Driving Offences
We understand how important your driving licence is to you.
The loss of one’s driving licence can create enormous difficulties both in terms of one’s ability to help members of the family, greatly reduces an individuals freedom and mobility and, in the worse case scenario, can lead to loss of employment, especially for those who drive for a living.
We are always on hand to provide expert legal advice at the earliest stage in any criminal proceedings in which a client is accused of a motoring offence.
Road Traffic legislation requires a high degree of technical expertise, as the underlying rules and regulations are extremely complicated.
There are several thousand different criminal offences that one may find themselves accused of, many of which can lead to the imposition of penalty points on one’s driving licence and, in the most serious cases, require the Courts to disqualify on a mandatory basis.
Whilst public funding or Legal Aid is not widely available for those facing motoring offences, we are happy to take your instructions and can offer highly competitive fees for this type of work.
Often, in the event of an acquittal for any privately paid work that we do, we can apply to the Court, at the end of the case, for the repayment of your costs in full.
Some of the most common types of driving offences can include
- Driving with Excess Alcohol
- Disqualified Driving
- Speeding
- Driving without Due Care & Attention
- Dangerous Driving
- Failure to Stop following an Accident
- No Insurance
- Failure to provide Driver Details
- Death by Dangerous Driving
Some of the more serious driving offences can result in not only the loss of your driving licence, but can also lead to a lengthy term of imprisonment from the Crown Court.
We realise that, a situation out on the road can unfold very quickly and can potentially have catastrophic results for everyone concerned.
In cases such as these, such as causing death or injury by dangerous driving, we will approach the case with a view to considering every piece of prosecution evidence, both in terms of Witness Statements and any forensic or reconstruction analysis evidence that the Police will obtain.
We will work with you to respond effectively to the prosecution case, calling upon our own expert evidence, using tried and trusted crime scene examiners who are at the very top of their field and who will provide us with the evidence that we will use to convey to a jury using one of the top barristers in the country with a view to securing your acquittal.
