Frequently asked questions
What should I do if I am accused of drink driving?
If you have been accused of drink driving, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible. A specialist motoring expert can review the circumstances of your case, explain the potential penalties and identify whether there may be grounds to challenge the charge.
What are the penalties for drink driving in the UK?
Penalties for drink driving can include a minimum 12-month driving disqualification, fines, penalty points and, in some cases, imprisonment. The exact penalty will depend on factors such as the alcohol reading, previous offences and the circumstances of the case.
Can a drink driving charge be challenged?
Yes. Some drink driving cases can be challenged on legal or procedural grounds. For example, there may be issues with breathalyser testing, police procedure or the evidence presented in court.
Do I need an expert for a motoring offence?
While it is possible to represent yourself, a specialist motoring expert can help you understand your legal position and present the strongest possible defence. Professional legal advice can be particularly valuable where a driving ban could affect your work or personal circumstances.
