Expert Legal Guidance From Our Motoring Offence Solicitors

There’s nothing that makes your heart sink like seeing a speed camera flash as you go past, or receiving that brown envelope in the post that tells you you’ve been caught exceeding the speed limit. But you’re not alone. According to government figures, over 2.5million people receive fixed penalty notices every year, and over 200,000 are prosecuted for speed-related offences.

If you’re facing a speeding charge, or any other motoring offence, such as drink driving, drug driving, driving without insurance, careless or dangerous driving, or driving whilst using a mobile phone then it is essential that you seek expert legal advice from experienced motoring offence solicitors such as Holdens law. 

What is a Motoring Offence Solicitor? 

A motoring offence solicitor is an expert in motoring law. There are a number of laws and regulations that affect motorists and they are often very complex. Holdens Law will support and advise you, and they will help you to understand the charges and the potential consequences. 

A motoring offence solicitor will also represent you, both at the police station and in the courts, to ensure that all defences are explored and mitigating circumstances are taken into account so that your case is treated fairly and your sentence is proportionate. 

How can Holdens Law help with motoring offences?

At Holdens Law, our role is to help you navigate the legal system in a way that produces the best possible result for your driving licence and for your livelihood. 

Our expert motoring offence solicitors can help you build the best possible defence by:

• Assessing the evidence and procedures used

• Challenging any errors or inconsistencies

• Presenting any mitigating circumstances around the incident

• Presenting any ‘special reasons’ to avoid penalty points

• Building a case for ‘exceptional hardship’ where points would lead to a ban leading to loss of employment or inability to care for children or a relative who depends on you

• Using our experience of the system and the courts to achieve the best possible outcome

I’ve received a Notice of Intended Prosecution – what should I do?

Whichever motoring offence is involved, it is essential that you seek expert legal advice from Holdens Law motoring offence solicitors as soon as possible. The earlier our team is involved, the greater the chance we have of getting you the best possible outcome for your case.

Even if the offence is a minor speeding ticket, we could still help. Remember, a speeding charge generally comes with at least three penalty points. Under the totting-up system, if you accumulate twelve points within a three year period, you could face a ban. That’s why it is always worth getting expert advice, even for what may appear unimportant at the time.
