So the dreaded letter arrives. Dear Mr Smith, you’ve been caught speeding. Please pay the sixty pound fine and three points will be added to your license. So what can you do? You’ve got nine points already. You need to drive for your job and to take your family places.
Twelve points is going to mean a ban which will be a total disaster. You could even lose your job if you can’t drive. Don’t despair, it might just be time to hire a motoring lawyer to fight your case for you. Yes, it’s going to cost you money, but that driving ban could be absolutely disastrous, so it could be worth every penny.
Motoring solicitors know the system inside out. When it comes to traffic and speeding offences, most people just assume the police were right and there is no possible way to challenge the intention to prosecute. After all, they have high tech equipment and the full might of the government on their side. However, this equipment has to be tested regularly and the police must follow strict protocol and procedure that governs its use. Any failure to observe these regulations could invalidate your conviction.
Motoring lawyers can look at your case in detail and potentially find a case for appeal for you. With their eye for detail and extensive legal knowledge, in many cases they can find a solution for their clients. It might be an error in the administration – failing to send you a letter within the set time period or perhaps a failure to demonstrate their equipment was working properly.
Whatever they find, it could be the difference between you keeping your license and staying on the road or the prospect of a lengthy ban. If you are in this position don’t despair. Turn to motoring solicitors and they could just keep you on the road.
