Totting Up/Exceptional Hardship

Special Reasons

If a court accepts that there are Special Reasons applicable to your case, whilst you would still be guilty of the offence, your licence will not be endorsed with penalty points for that offence or the magistrates may decide to endorse your licence with fewer points than they would have.

Failing to Provide a Specimen

Under the Road Traffic Act 1988, if the police have reasonable suspicion that you are driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, they have the authority to request a specimen from you. Are you at risk of a disqualification from driving for failing to provide a specimen? We can help.

Failing to Provide Driver Identity Information

We can help any drivers who have been summoned for failing to provide information as to the identity of the driver suspected of having committed a road traffic offence. A lot of our clients commit this offence unintentionally because they did not receive the original notice of intended prosecution or for other reasons. Regardless, we can advise you on how to respond to a request for information and offer you specialist legal representation.

Failing to Comply with Traffic Lights and Road Signals.

Traffic light offences are deemed a ‘strict liability’ offence, so you are guilty of the offence even if you unknowingly went through the red light or that it was not your intention to do so. Whether you received a Fixed Penalty Notice or your case have been referred to the Magistrates Court for consideration, we can help.

Driving Offences Involving Serious Injury.

The law is very strict for these offences, and we know that the prospect of a disqualification from driving or a custodial sentence brings the upmost fear and anxiety. We can help you through this difficult time, so you don’t need to face this alone.

Driving Offences Involving Fatality.

We know the level of shock and worry these offences cause our clients who are often people of good character (professionals or parents for example) who have never been through anything like this before, yet the law is very strict for these offences. Our specialist road traffic solicitors can help you through this difficult time
