Types of Motoring Offences
Providing Effective Motoring Defence For All Driving Offences
1.1
We offer help and advice with road traffic offences such as:
- Speeding
- Driving without insurance
- Fixed Penalty Notices
- Mobile phones and texting
- Driving without due care
- Drink and drug driving
- Driving whilst disqualified
- Vehicle construction and use offences
- Dangerous driving
- Causing death by driving without due care
- Causing death by dangerous driving
These offences vary in seriousness but ultimately they can all threaten the same thing, which is a ban from driving.
We can look at ways of reducing the impact of the offence and look at ways to mitigate you during sentencing. We can only do that if you contact our Andover office as soon as you are notified of the charges. This applies whether this is a court summons or a fixed penalty notice.
We can assist you with a wide range of motoring offences, however, the sooner you get in touch with us for advice the better.
Penalties For Motoring Offences
Minimising Your Sentence and Avoiding Disqualification
1.2
The penalty you face will largely depend on the seriousness of the offence.
A speeding offence may attract a fine of about £100 and three points on your licence and a serious offence could attract a fine of £500 or more, up to 6 penalty points or an immediate ban.
A drink driving offence could result in a £5,000 fine, between 3 to 9 penalty points on your licence, a driving ban of at least 12 months and potentially a prison sentence.
There is also a real danger of falling foul of the totting up rule. Where you get 12 points on your driving licence in a three year period, you face an immediate 6-month driving ban and this may be added onto any ban for the offence you are already facing.
It does not matter if you have been caught speeding only a few miles an hour over the speed limit or if you have been caught drink driving, the totting up rule will still apply. However, with careful case preparation, we can sometimes reduce that minimum ban or avoid it altogether.
It is really important that you give us the opportunity to help, as we could make a real difference to your case.
