MOTORING OFFENCES Speeding A Notice of Intended Prosecution for driving, for example fractionally over the limit in a 30mph area is galling for a motorist with a clean licence. Speak to our experts about the defences available and special reasons arguments as to why 3 points should not be endorsed on your licence. Likewise, prosecutions where the number of penalty points may take a motorist over the 12 point “totting” limit may not always result in the expected disqualification. In such a situation, contact our team if you think that a member of your family, employee or some other person reliant on you may suffer undue hardship. Drink Drive Law and procedure on drink drive is complex and is not always as clear cut as you may think. The Police may not always follow the correct procedure and prosecutions do collapse because of this. We at Hine & Associates know the Law and can advise fully on these issues. There may be special reasons, such as having your drinks spiked by a third party, driving unexpectedly due to some emergency or simply re-positioning your vehicle where there was little likelihood of coming into contact with other road users, which can be used successfully, and as a result avoid the otherwise mandatory disqualification prescribed by the Law. Careless, Dangerous and Other Driving Offences These types of prosecutions are frequently based on Police officers’ opinions. Those subject to such prosecutions may lose their case unless they are able to call effective expert evidence to challenge the prosecution. At Hine & Associates we regularly instruct experienced defence experts and have excellent track records in this area. Contact us now if you think we can help.
