Driving is part of many of our day to day lives. If you’re facing a prosecution for driving related allegations we have the experience and skills to help you through this process.
There are multiple offences that you can be accused of while driving or being in charge of your vehicle. We can provide you with advice and representation in relation to these allegations. It’s important to understand that good quality legal advice may be the factor that stops you from losing your driving license.
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.
The law around motoring offences is complex and challenging. We’ve had experience in dealing with various offences.
“I was lucky enough to have Hodge Jones & Allen represent me this year and received the most wonderful support and encouragement from my solicitor Ruth Harris. I would recommend this firm and Ruth to anyone who needs someone in their corner.”
We have the experience and skills that make a difference to your chances of success. We’ve been representing people charged with driving related matters for over 40 years. In that time the high standard of our work has been recognised in the two most prominent legal directories, Chambers and Partners and the Legal 500.
We regularly attend the Magistrates Court to represent people charged with all of the allegations listed above. Our approach to each case remains the same, methodical and forensic. We’ll take you through each issue in your case and whenever possible challenge the prosecution’s case against you.
When we find a point we can challenge the prosecution on or a point we can take in your favour, we use all of our experience and expertise to get you the best result. In the many years we’ve been representing people accused of driving offences we’ve built up a network of skilled experts. They can provide reports and advice on all areas of Road Traffic law.
We can accept funding for your case on either a private basis or via legal aid, if you’re eligible. If you’re funding your case privately, we can discuss with you the level of fees. The structure can be fixed for prescribed pieces of work or at an hourly rate.
"From the outset, communications and advice were clear and precise. The support, both moral and during trial was much appreciated over a very difficult period."
Depending on the allegation against you, it may be that your case starts with an interview under caution with the police. If it does, then you’re entitled to free and independent legal advice at that interview. We can provide that advice without the need to charge you.
If you receive such notification you will usually have a few days to obtain legal advice and representation. This is a vital period of time in your case. If you instruct us we can obtain the prosecution evidence, analyse it and advise you on your chances of success and the best approach to take
After the interview you may find that you’re charged or summonsed to attend court and face a prosecution for driving related allegations. Alternatively, you might not be interviewed and you may simply receive notification in the post that you’re to be prosecuted in court.
What you say, or don’t say, in an interview with the police can play a vital part in any later court proceedings. We can provide a lawyer who will make a difference at this early stage. Always ask for a lawyer before you’re interviewed by the police.
Early advice from us can reduce or eliminate a driving ban. It can save time and money and help you to keep your driving license.
If you choose to contest the case, the matter will go to trial. We can then prepare your case by taking witness statements and preparing both expert reports and legal arguments to support your defence. Our hard work and attention to detail is regularly the deciding factor in these cases.
R v TR (2019):
TR faced an allegation that he’d been driving dangerously before he collided with a pedestrian, causing a fatality. At the end of a four day trial he was acquitted of this charge. We instructed an expert to report on the speed of the vehicle, evidence of when and how forcefully brakes were applied as well as for how long. Our client was acquitted at the end of the trial.
R v RS (2018):
RS was turning right across stationary traffic when a bicycle collided with this vehicle. We obtained an expert report and, using this report, made written representations to the CPS. After considering our letter they dropped the prosecution.
R v TC (2019):
TC was charged with failing to provide a sample of breath as part of the drink drive procedure in a police station when she was accused of driving with excess alcohol (drink driving). Her case went to trial. Under cross examination the police accepted they’d made an error in the procedure and Ms TC was duly acquitted.
R v D:
“D” was charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving. D was driving at speed, racing and had taken cannabis and crashed his car. The passenger was seriously injured. Using expertise of silk, a toxicologist and a Road Collision expert, we secured a favourable basis of plea and sentence was 5 months rather than a number of years.
R v BH (2018):
BH was facing an allegation in relation to colliding with 3 parked cars while manoeuvring his van in a small residential street. We represented him at trial and cross examined the witnesses who claimed to have seen him collide with the parked cars. He was acquitted by the Magistrates’ and awarded his costs back.

Each offence carries separate punishments and has different guidelines for sentence. Once we know what allegations you face and what the facts are, we can give you this advice.
Surprisingly you may not need to attend court. If you’ve received a postal charge or summons for one of the more minor driving matters you may not need to attend. However, you must be clear on this point.
If you fail to attend court when you’re required, a warrant may be issued for your arrest and failing to attend would amount to a criminal offence if you don’t have a reasonable excuse that the court accepts.
Only in the more serious cases is a prison sentence both possible and likely. For offences such as speeding and driving with no insurance it’s not a possibility. For offences of driving with excess alcohol (drink driving) or drugs (drug driving) it’s possible and can happen if there are aggravating factors to your case.
