Motor and Driving Offences

If you have been charged with any driving offence you should always take legal advice. Road Traffic and Transport Law is complex, for example speed cameras, breathalyser equipment and tachographs all have to be properly calibrated and maintained. Grindeys driving offence solicitors have the experience to recognise where discrepancies have occurred and this can, potentially, provide you with a defence.

Certain offences, such as those where death may have occurred, dangerous driving or drink driving, are imprisonable. These offences will always require legal representation and the specialist road and transport law knowledge of your solicitor is crucial when dealing with preliminary advice and court representation.

We regularly advise, and represent in court when necessary, on all motor offences including:

• Death related offences
• Dangerous driving
• Careless driving (driving without due care and attention)
• Excess alcohol (drink driving)
• Failure to provide a sample for analysis (drink driving)
• Driving under the influence of drugs
• Failure to stop at, or report, an accident
• Speeding
• Failure to provide the identity of the driver
• Penalty point accumulation
• Mobile phone use whilst driving
• Construction and use offences (brakes, tyres etc)
