Motoring and Road Traffic Offences
At One Inner Temple Lane we provide specialist advice and advocacy on the full range of motoring and road traffic offences.
We fully understand the gravity of the consequences of such offences, and in particular the serious practical ramifications of disqualification, particularly for those who drive for a living. Our dedicated road traffic team is therefore committed to ensuring that every defence available is presented as forcefully as possible. Our barristers excel in using their detailed subject knowledge of the complexities of Road Traffic Law to deploy technical legal arguments to maximise your chances of a satisfactory outcome. Our expertise is recognised by the many leading motor insurers who instruct our barristers. We also regularly act on instructions from private clients.
Our road traffic team provide comprehensive advice and representation in the following areas:
- Speeding offences
- ‘Totting up’ (The Totting up procedure is enforced when a driver reaches 12 penalty points within any 3 year period)
- Careless or dangerous driving
- Drink or drug impaired driving
- Failing to provide a specimen
- Driving whilst disqualified
- Driving without insurance
- Failing to stop or report an accident
- Failing to give information as to the identity of a driver (Notice of Intended Prosecution)
- Appeals against conviction and/or sentence
- Death by careless or dangerous driving
1ITL can be instructed at any stage of proceedings, from practical advice on strategy and evidence at an early stage, through to advocacy at trial and, if necessary, on appeal.
Many of our barristers are licensed for Public Access work, meaning that they can take cases on without needing to be instructed through a solicitor, thus meaning you only pay for one legal advisor rather than two. Public Access enables us to offer highly competitive and provide expert advice and advocacy at modest cost to you. In addition to competitive rates, we also offer fixed fee options for certain cases.
