Using a Mobile Phone Whilst Driving

How Can a Motoring Solicitor Help Me With My Case?
Our motoring lawyers offer expert legal advice and representation to help you understand the charges, look at the defences and get the best possible outcome for your case. We aim to reduce penalty points, which can lead to a minimum driving ban and other consequences.
Can I Contest a Motoring Charge?
Yes, you can. Our motoring solicitor team will look at the evidence, identify the weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and build a defence.
What’s the Process for Contesting a Motoring Offence Charge?
When you receive a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP), it’s essential to respond within 28 days, even if you weren’t the driver or believe no offence occurred. Failing to respond could lead to additional penalties. For minor offences handled through a Single Justice Procedure Notice, which doesn’t require a court appearance, you must submit your plea within 21 days. You’ll have the option to plead guilty (with or without attending court) or not guilty, with clear instructions provided for each scenario. Accurate and timely responses are critical in both cases to avoid further consequences.
What Happens if I’ve Been Accused of a Motoring Offence, but I Wasn’t the Driver?
If you weren’t the driver at the time of the offence you need to gather evidence and name the actual driver. Our solicitors can help you build a case to prove your innocence.
Can I Lose My Licence for One Motoring Offence?
Yes, in certain circumstances, like if the driving offence is serious or if your points reach the threshold for a ban under the ‘totting up’ process. It depends on the offence and your driving record.
