About Chester Magistrates' Court
Motoring prosecutions form a significant part of the work at Chester Magistrates' Court, covering everything from penalty-point offences to charges that carry a mandatory disqualification.
Because the consequences of conviction reach well beyond the courtroom, it is worth understanding your options before your hearing rather than after.
Many cases involve technical evidence such as speed-detection devices, breathalyser procedures and police conduct, and our road traffic experts will carefully assess your case to identify any possible defences.

Drink Driving and Other Serious Offences
If you are accused of drink driving, early advice is vital. Beyond the mandatory ban, a conviction affects insurance and employment for years. Our experts examine the reliability of the testing process, the conduct of the officers and whether a failing to provide a specimen or special reasons argument gives you a route to a better outcome.
Speeding, Totting Up and Driving Bans
If you are facing a speeding offence, penalties range from points and fines to disqualification depending on the severity. Drivers approaching 12 penalty points risk a totting up ban, but a carefully prepared exceptional hardship argument may keep you on the road.
Drug, Careless and Dangerous Driving Cases
Cases involving drug driving, careless driving and dangerous driving are heard regularly. Drug driving relies on blood analysis that can be challenged on procedure, while careless and dangerous driving turn on how the standard of driving is judged – an area where strong representation can change the outcome.
