Driving offences – support available every step of the way

The new sentencing guidelines introduced in respect of certain driving offences sadly involving one or more deaths which became applicable to everyone sentenced on or after 4 August 2008 have gone some way to increasing clarity and raising the seriousness of the worst driving offences.

Other driving offences such as a speeding ticket or drink driving may not automatically result in imprisonment, but can still prove problematical for the offender.Unless you know your way around driving law, our legal system and the associated procedures that must be adhered to in order to successfully defend your court appearance, you could find yourself on the losing end of a conviction which could adversely affect your future earnings and indeed, your career.

When a person is convicted of a driving offence, UK Courts are obliged to endorse the person’s licence, and where appropriate even disqualify that person from driving.There are however mitigations or special reasons which, if can be proved to be relevant and applicable at the time the offence occurred, gives an offender a chance of avoiding an endorsement on their driving licence or disqualification.
