Full-range of road traffic law advice
Our specialist road traffic solicitors are knowledgeable in all areas of road traffic law including:
Speeding
To provide evidence of speeding, the police use various methods including speed measuring devices and simply following a speeding car. However, for any prosecution to be successful, it needs to be shown that the devices were properly placed, calibrated and used according to specific set rules and the time and location were recorded. Failing to do any of these things could result in the prosecution being unsuccessful. Many drivers caught speeding accept to pay a fine under a fixed penalty notice with the result that many of these factors are not even brought into consideration.
Mobile phone use
Mobile phone use whilst driving covers a number of situations including: the actual driver or a person supervising a driver who has not yet obtained a fully valid license using a phone whilst the vehicle is in motion; somebody who causes a driver to use a mobile. For a prosecution to be successful, it needs to be shown that a mobile phone was actually in use whilst the vehicle was in motion and that there was no legally valid reason for the phone to be used. Legally valid reasons include emergency situations where the driver is unable to stop.
Other possible situation our traffic solicitors can deal with:
- Drunk driving
- Careless/dangerous driving
- Driving without insurance
- Hit and run incidents
- Driving without a license
- Failing to notify the police of driver details in the event he or she has been caught committing an offence by traffic devices, such as speed and bus lane cameras.
