28 Aug Motoring Offences in the UK: How Our Solicitors Can Help

Motoring offences are among the most common legal issues drivers face in the UK. From speeding fines to more serious offences such as drink driving, driving whilst disqualified, or careless driving, the consequences can be severe. At KSP Solicitors, based in Covent Garden, we provide expert legal advice and representation to help protect your driving licence, reduce penalties, and guide you through the legal process.

Types of Motoring Offences We Cover

Our experienced team can assist with a wide range of motoring offences, including:

1. Speeding Offences

Speeding is one of the most frequently committed driving offences. We can help you understand the circumstances of your case, challenge the evidence, and, where possible, negotiate alternatives such as a speed awareness course instead of penalty points.

2. Careless and Dangerous Driving

Careless or dangerous driving can result in points, fines, or even disqualification. Our solicitors can examine the details of your case to see if there are valid defences, helping you minimise the consequences.

3. Drink and Drug Driving

Drink and drug driving offences carry mandatory disqualifications and heavy fines. We provide comprehensive support, including advice on mitigating factors, special reasons, and potential defences, especially in cases where drinks may have been spiked or medication affected driving.

4. Driving Whilst Disqualified

Being caught driving whilst disqualified is a serious offence that can lead to prison, extended bans, and penalty points. Our team can explore options such as early removal from disqualification and represent you in court to minimise impact.

5. No Insurance / Using an Uninsured Vehicle

Driving without insurance is a strict liability offence, meaning you can be charged even if you were unaware. We can help investigate your case, explore possible defences, and argue “special reasons” where applicable.

6. Hit and Run / Failure to Stop

Failing to stop after an accident or failing to report an accident can carry severe penalties, including imprisonment. We provide guidance on the law and represent clients to ensure their rights are protected.

7. Mobile Phone and Hand-Held Device Offences

Using a hand-held phone while driving can result in fines and points on your licence. Our solicitors can assess whether there are defences, including emergency circumstances, and advise on the best course of action.

8. Totting Up / Accumulation of Penalty Points

If you face disqualification due to accumulated points, we can help argue exceptional hardship, defend recent allegations, or present special reasons to avoid points where possible.
