About Hull Magistrates’ Court
Hull Magistrates’ Court deals with a wide range of criminal and motoring cases. Drivers may be required to attend for offences such as drink driving, drug driving, speeding, careless driving, dangerous driving, driving without insurance, failing to provide driver information, or using a mobile phone while driving.
For many drivers, the biggest concern is the risk of losing their licence. A driving ban can affect employment, income, family responsibilities, childcare, caring duties and daily travel. This is why it is important to seek advice as early as possible, rather than waiting until the day of court.
Motoring cases can involve technical issues. Evidence, police procedure, breath or blood testing, speed detection equipment, paperwork and mitigation can all affect the outcome. A legal expert can help review your case and explain what options may be available.

Drink Driving at Hull Magistrates’ Court
Being charged with drink driving is one of the most serious reasons a driver may attend Hull Magistrates’ Court. A conviction usually carries a minimum 12-month driving ban, a fine, a criminal record and increased insurance costs.
However, not every drink driving case is straightforward. There may be issues with the roadside stop, arrest, breath test, blood test, urine sample, police procedure or paperwork. In some cases, mitigation or a special reasons argument may also be relevant.
If you have been caught drink driving in Hull, early advice gives your legal expert more time to review the evidence, explain your options and prepare your case properly.
Speeding, Totting Up and Driving Ban Cases
If you are facing a speeding offence, the outcome can depend on the alleged speed, the road type, your driving history and whether you already have points on your licence. In more serious cases, the court may consider a driving ban.
If you have reached 12 or more penalty points, you may face a totting up disqualification. An exceptional hardship argument may help in some cases, but it must be prepared carefully with supporting evidence.
Drug Driving, Careless Driving and Dangerous Driving
Hull Magistrates’ Court may also deal with allegations of drug driving, careless driving and dangerous driving. These cases can carry serious penalties, especially where there is an accident, injury, high reading or allegation of poor driving.
Our legal experts can review the evidence, explain the likely penalties and advise whether there are any legal or factual issues that should be challenged.
