"I was facing a 6-month totting up ban with 11 points already on my licence. The team built an exceptional hardship argument around my work as a carer and I kept my licence. Absolutely brilliant."
"Caught doing 98 mph on the M62. I thought I'd automatically lose my licence. They found a calibration issue with the speed gun and the case was thrown out. Saved my job."
"Charged with drink driving at a level just over the limit. They identified a procedural error in how the breathalyser was operated and the charge was dropped completely."
For a straightforward first speeding offence where you accept guilt and have no points on your licence, you may be able to attend a speed awareness course. However, if you already have points on your licence, if you are close to the 12-point totting up threshold, or if the speed alleged is high enough to risk a discretionary ban (typically 30 mph or more over the limit), specialist legal advice is strongly recommended. A solicitor can challenge the evidence, argue mitigating factors, and potentially prevent endorsement altogether.
Totting up is the colloquial term for the provisions under section 35 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988. If a driver accumulates 12 or more penalty points within any three-year period, the court must impose a minimum six-month disqualification unless the driver can prove that exceptional hardship would result. Points from multiple offences are counted cumulatively. A solicitor can advise whether you are at risk and prepare exceptional hardship arguments if necessary.
Yes. While drink driving carries a mandatory disqualification on conviction, the key word is "conviction". Many drink driving cases have been successfully defended by challenging the reliability of the breath testing equipment, the way the test was administered, the circumstances of the arrest, or the continuity of any blood or urine samples. Specific defences such as the "hip flask" defence (drinking after driving) or showing the alcohol was consumed without knowledge of driving again can also succeed. Every case must be assessed on its own facts.
A Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) must be served on the registered keeper within 14 days of the alleged offence. The Section 172 request to identify the driver must be responded to within 28 days or the keeper faces a separate offence. Before completing any NIP or S.172 notice, it is worth seeking legal advice — there can be technical defects in the notice itself that render it invalid, and how you respond can affect your legal position.
