FAQs
What types of road traffic offences do you handle?
We handle a wide range of offences, including speeding, drink-driving, driving without insurance, dangerous driving, careless driving, and driving while disqualified.
Can I lose my licence for a road traffic offence?
Yes, some offences carry mandatory disqualification or penalty points that may result in a driving ban. Our barristers can argue for mitigating factors to reduce or avoid a ban where possible.
What should I do if I receive a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP)?
If you receive an NIP, it’s crucial to respond within the specified timeframe and seek legal advice to ensure the best course of action.
What is the process for appealing a road traffic conviction?
To appeal a conviction or sentence, you must act quickly, as there are strict time limits. Our barristers can advise on the merits of your appeal and represent you in the process.
How long does it take to resolve a road traffic case?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the case. Minor offences may be resolved quickly, while contested matters or appeals may take longer.
