Most of us take our ability to drive for granted. We use our cars for travelling to and from work, taking the kids to school, visiting family and friends and other domestic tasks. With increased police patrols combined with target driven policing and the increased use of and reliance on technology, it is now easier than ever to be accused of committing a road traffic offence.
Because road traffic offences often cause risks to public safety, the penalties for a conviction can be severe and include the imposition of penalty points, disqualification from driving, a substantial fine and even imprisonment. We fully understand that a driving conviction can be devastating on both your personal and professional life not to mention a substantial rise in your insurance premium. So be assured, our aim is to keep you motoring and save your licence.
