Road Traffic & Motoring

From the straightforward to the complex, members at all levels have experience of Road Traffic and Motoring offences, the tactics required and the best approach in the courtroom.

Overview

Chambers can provide a wide range of Barristers from Junior to QC to suit any level of road traffic offence. We recognise the serious implications of losing a licence and appreciate the need to explore every avenue in a case to ensure that we can obtain the best possible outcome in all the circumstances. Our expertise in the field positions us well to do our very best for any client.

Our Experience 

Although specialising in the defence of motoring offences, members of Chambers bring with them significant experience of prosecuting the full range of these offences, which is invaluable in providing balanced and practical advice and for making effective tactical decisions. 

We specialise in all road traffic offences but we deal most regularly with speeding, drink driving, driving with excess alcohol or drugs, driving with no insurance, failure to provide details, topping up points, driving bans, HGV offences, careless driving, dangerous driving and offences linked to accident claims. At the most serious level, we deal with the prosecution and defence of death by dangerous and careless driving. We often advise on these matters at investigation stage and have experience of halting proceedings pre-charge through various means, including letters of representation.

Our Barristers are particularly alive to the need for detailed technical understanding of the complex legal provisions, and of the relevant requirements of admissibility of evidence, as we have first-hand experience of how these can significantly impact the outcome of a case.

We recognise that these offences can affect anyone and welcome the opportunity to discuss clients’ concerns in the strictest confidence so that we can take a case forward in the best possible way, towards the most favourable outcome.
