Speeding Offences and Totting-Up Disqualifications
A speeding allegation can seem minor until the points mount up. Reaching 12 points brings an automatic totting up disqualification, yet a well-evidenced exceptional hardship argument can persuade the court to let you keep driving where a ban would cause serious difficulty to you or others.
