Drink Driving & Serious Motoring Offences
Being charged with drink driving can result in severe penalties, including a mandatory driving ban of at least 12 months, fines and a criminal record.
However, not every case is straightforward. There may be issues with breathalyser procedures, police conduct or how evidence was handled. In some cases, a special reasons argument may apply.
Our legal experts will carefully examine every detail of your case and advise you on the best course of action.
Speeding, Totting Up and Driving Ban Cases
If you are facing a speeding offence, penalties can vary depending on the severity. More serious cases may lead to disqualification rather than points.
If you are at risk of reaching 12 penalty points, you may face a totting up ban. An exceptional hardship argument may be possible but requires strong preparation.
