Road Traffic and Crime
In today's society, people face many threats to their driving licence.
We can advise on challenging any alleged speed or cause of accident. We advise on avoiding self-incrimination, disqualification and on how and when to "clean" a licence. We seek to reduce costs and inconvenience, to limit the effects and to reduce the stress for our clients, whatever the problem.
Aspects covered by our service include:
- notice of prosecution and requests for driver details
- fixed penalty, 'totting up' and disqualification
- speeding and crossing red lights
- careless, dangerous, and drunk driving
- failing to provide specimens
- overloading and tachograph offences
- company liability for employees
Few of us can afford the inconvenience of losing the use of our vehicle for work or pleasure. For many, the cost of protecting a licence is negligible compared to the loss in income or business opportunity that may arise should they be banned from driving.
We understand this dilemma and place great importance on mounting a strong defence or imaginative mitigation in every case. Our many years of experience have taught us how best to appeal to the magistrate's sense of fairness, and our record of success is unrivalled.
For businesses, there is a range of potential offences that can result in significant fines and take up a great deal of management time. This needs to be mitigated or avoided, and again we can draw on our experience to advise on the best commercial course of action. Whatever the problem, we will always give conscientious, realistic advice on the chances of success and cost of alternatives.
