What should I do if I have been caught driving while disqualified?
Driving while disqualified is a criminal offence with serious consequences. We can review the case and explore legal options to challenge or mitigate the charge.
Can I be prosecuted for using my mobile phone while driving?
Yes, using a handheld mobile phone while driving can lead to six penalty points and a fine. If the evidence against you is unclear, we can challenge the charge.
What if I fail to stop after an accident?
Failing to stop and report an accident is a serious offence. However, if you were unaware of the incident or had a valid reason, we can help present a strong defence.
Can I defend a careless or dangerous driving charge?
Yes, defences may include insufficient evidence, procedural errors, or proving that your driving did not meet the legal threshold for "careless" or "dangerous" driving.
What is ‘totting up’ and how can I avoid disqualification?
If you accumulate 12 or more penalty points within three years, you may face disqualification. Our solicitors can argue for "exceptional hardship" to help you keep your licence.
What happens if I drive without insurance?
Driving without insurance can result in fines, penalty points, or a driving ban. If you were mistakenly uninsured, we can present a defence to reduce the penalties.
What are the penalties for drink or drug driving?

What should I do if I am charged with a motoring offence?
If you are charged with a driving offence, seek legal advice immediately. Our solicitors can assess your case, explain your options, and build a strong defence strategy.
