Motoring Offences

Whether you lose your licence depends on several factors including the speed recorded, your previous driving record, and any existing points on your licence. Minor speeding offences typically result in penalty points and a fine. Our solicitors can advise on your specific circumstances and may be able to help you avoid disqualification.

Drink driving penalties typically include a minimum 12-month driving ban, a fine of up to £5,000, and potentially a prison sentence for serious cases. The exact penalties depend on the alcohol level, previous offences, and circumstances of the case. Our solicitors can help minimise the impact and advise on rehabilitation courses that may reduce your ban.

In some cases, yes. We may be able to make a 'special reasons' argument or plead 'exceptional hardship' to help you avoid disqualification, even when you've accumulated 12+ points. Success depends on your specific circumstances and the strength of evidence. Our experienced solicitors will explore all possible defences to help maintain your driving privileges.

You should contact a solicitor as soon as possible after being charged with a motoring offence. Early legal advice can significantly improve your chances of a favourable outcome. This is particularly important in cases involving potential disqualification or where technical defences may be available.
