Hine Solicitors has successfully assisted many clients in defending cases and/or avoiding a driving disqualification or custodial sentence in all types of motoring offences, including:
Speeding, Drink Driving, Dangerous Driving, Standard of Driving Offences, Driving Without Insurance.
Including those offences arising out of fatal accidents.
Our speeding solicitors act for clients facing prosecution or points for exceeding the speed limit. It may sound cut and dried, you exceeded the speed limit so you get points or disqualification but it isn’t always the case. We can look at signage, temporary speed limits, misused equipment and other ways to argue your case.
Our drink driving solicitors defend clients facing excess alcohol, drunk in charge and drug driving charges. It is an offence under section 5(1)(a) Road Traffic Act 1988 for a person to drive or attempt to drive a motor vehicle on a road or public place with excess alcohol in their breath, blood or urine.
Our specialist motoring offence solicitors defend careless driving, dangerous driving and driving without due care and attention charges. Section 2A(1) Road Traffic Act 1988 provides that a person is to be regarded as driving dangerously if the way he drives falls far below what would be expected of a competent and careful driver, and it would be obvious to a competent and careful driver that driving in that way would be dangerous.
Whether you drive long distances or just take short trips locally, it’s almost impossible to have a faultless driving record. The pressure of busy roads and other drivers’ behaviour can result in an error of judgment.
Our solicitors defend clients charged with driving without insurance. Section 143 Road Traffic Act 1988 provides that a person must not use a motor vehicle on a road or public place unless there is in force in relation to the use of the vehicle by that person a policy of insurance.
