Driving Offence Solicitors for Road Traffic Offences
Our specialist Driving Offence Solicitors are dedicated to providing you with the highest standard of motoring law expertise.
We have practised motoring law since 1998, so, should you need our help, you can rest assured you have an experienced and committed team of solicitors behind you.
A car is precious to us all and in many cases invaluable. You do not have to lose your driving licence just because you have broken the law. If your penalty points are likely to exceed the usual 12-point limit, we can argue special reasons not to endorse or exceptional hardship.
Disqualification from driving can have an enormous impact on your work and family life. You could even lose your job. There are more speed cameras on our roads than ever before, a momentary lapse of concentration can have catastrophic consequences.
Our specialist Driving Offence Solicitors know how to present mitigating circumstances to help you avoid conviction, or in the event you are convicted, keep the penalties to a minimum.
If you are facing charges related to motoring law and want advice from experienced driving offence lawyers, call us or fill in our online contact form.

What is a notice of intended prosecution?
A Notice of Intended Prosecution is issued by the police to inform a potential defendant that they may be prosecuted for a motoring offence. This won’t necessarily happen, but under s1 Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988, the police are legally required to inform you within 14 days of an alleged offence.
The purpose of the notice is to ensure that sufficient warning is given to the registered keeper that their car has been involved in a motoring offence. It also provides an opportunity to identify the driver of the vehicle at the time.
You are legally obliged to respond to an NIP that is addressed to you, even if you weren’t the driver or you believe there’s been a mistake.
What are the penalties for a driving offence?
The courts decide what sentence to impose for a driving offence according to the specific circumstances of the case taking into account any mitigating factors. The police hand out on the spot fines for the less serious offences, while the most serious offences could lead to a prison sentence.
The penalties you could face include one or more of the following:
- A fine
- Points on your licence
- A driving ban
- A custodial sentence
There are also likely to be knock-on effects of being prosecuted for a driving offence. You may get a criminal record, which may cause problems when seeking employment, and you may find it difficult (or much more expensive) to get car insurance in the future.
