Drink Driving & Serious Motoring Charges
Being charged with drink driving is one of the most common reasons drivers attend court. A conviction can mean a minimum 12-month driving ban, a substantial fine and a criminal record. Not every case is straightforward, however – there may be issues with roadside procedures, testing accuracy or police conduct, and in some situations a special reasons or failing to provide a specimen argument may apply.
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.
Drug Driving and Standard-of-Driving Offences
Alongside drink driving, Stratford Magistrates' Court hears many drug driving, careless driving and dangerous driving matters. Penalties escalate quickly where injury or aggravating features are alleged, so it is important to test the evidence and present clear mitigation.
