Our expert solicitors have helped hundreds of clients including:

Speeding - This week we dealt with a speeding offence where our client has received a 14 day disqualification for 102mph on a motorway and no penalty points and therefore saved his job.

Speeding - We recently represented a young driver who was caught on camera at over 90mph in a 50mph zone. The client was a regional manager and losing his licence would have meant losing his job. We mitigated to the Court on his behalf to this effect and after lengthy representations the magistrates agreed to impose 6 points and a financial penalty instead of disqualifying him. Given the speed reading it is likely without our expert representation he would have been disqualified from driving with the personally disastrous consequences that this would involve. What made this result even more encouraging was that this was at a North Wales Magistrates’ Court and the reputation of North Wales in relation to speeding offences is well known!

Drink Driving  - This month we have represented a drink driver who pleaded guilty to driving with nearly twice the legal limit of alcohol in his breath. After arguing shortness of distance driven he received the minimum mandatory driving disqualification of 12 months.  He accepted the Drink Drivers Rehabilitation Course and if he successfully completes this his driving disqualification will be reduced to 9 months.

Speeding - successfully argued against disqualification on the grounds of exceptional hardship as a result of losing employment.

Drink Driving  - not guilty verdict following incorrect police procedure.

Speeding - not guilty verdict as a result of excess speed due to an emergency when trying to avoid an oncoming vehicle.

Due care and attention - not guilty verdict due to successfully arguing client's standard of driving had not fallen below the standard of a reasonable and prudent driver.

Driving Ban - successfully appealed for a client who had been convicted of failing to provide driver details and was facing a disqualification.  Resulting in no penalty points.
