Can I Challenge A Motoring Offence Charge?
Yes, you can challenge a speeding fine or motoring offence charge if you believe it was wrongly issued or if there are mitigating circumstances. It’s essential to act quickly, as there are usually strict time limits for challenging fines. A motoring solicitor can help you understand the grounds for contesting a charge and guide you through the process.
What Is The Process For Contesting A Motoring Offence Charge?
If you receive a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP), you have 28 days to respond, and it’s crucial to do so accurately, even if you weren’t the driver or believe you haven’t committed an offence. Failure to respond can result in further penalties. For Single Justice Procedure Notices, which deal with minor offences without a court appearance, you must enter a plea within 21 days. The process includes options to plead guilty with or without attending court, or not guilty, with instructions on how to proceed in each case.
What Should I Do If I'm Accused of A Motoring Offence But Was Not The Driver?
If you weren’t driving at the time of the offence, you could nominate the actual driver using the process outlined in the notice you received. It’s crucial to respond within the time limit provided to avoid additional penalties.
Can I Lose My License For a Single Motoring Offence?
It’s possible, particularly for serious offences or if you accumulate enough points to trigger a minimum driving ban under the ‘totting up’ process. The specifics depend on the offence and your driving history.
