Driving Offences

Experts in motoring law

As well as giving you honest and practical legal advice, we’ll also explore the technical and factual defences that may result in you keeping your driving license or avoiding serious punishments, including potential imprisonment. Our team of lawyers are experts in motoring law and are available to talk to you on the telephone.

• Using a mobile phone while driving
• Driving or being in charge of a vehicle while over the legal limit for alcohol or drugs
• Failing to provide a specimen of blood or urine as required by the police
• Speeding offences
• Receiving more than 12 penalty points on your driving license
• Road rage incidents
• Dangerous driving
• Driving without due care and attention
• Causing death by careless or dangerous driving
• Appeal of a decision in the Magistrates court
