	Speeding Do not assume that photographic or police evidence cannot be challenged. It can. If you believe that any evidence is wrong, you should contact us immediately. To secure a conviction, the court has to be sure as to the accuracy of any evidence, that you were speeding. It is our job to closely examine any evidence that the prosecution intend to rely on to prove you were committing the offence. If this evidence fails to meet the required standards, we will argue before the court that there should be no conviction.
	Drink Driving In order to achieve a conviction for drink driving, the court has to be satisfied that all procedures have been followed correctly. Never forget that evidence can be challenged by a defendant who does not accept that he is guilty of drink driving or that there has been a significant failure by the police when carrying out the investigation. The courts have held that any failure by a police officer to adhere to strict procedures when obtaining samples can be fatal to a prosecution for drink driving.
	Dangerous Driving The definition of the offence of dangerous driving is wide because it is not just relation to motor vehicles but any mechanically propelled vehicles, furthermore it can take place in any place to which the public has access, not just public roads. Never forget, the burden of proving dangerous driving rests squarely on he shoulders of the prosecution, not the defendant. It is our job to expertly and carefully examine and exploit any failing or loophole in the prosecution case or law to secure an acquittal.
	Proving Who the Driver is The Road Traffic Act imposes a strict duty upon defendants to disclose the identity of drivers in these situations. If you face a prosecution for failure to disclose the identity of the driver, you should contact us immediately. We recommend that you speak to us prior to signing any documents and you should do this as soon as you receive them. Just because the law seems onerous and puts strict duties upon people, do not assume that there are no defences to failure to disclose the identity of the driver of a motor vehicle. There are, and success may well depend upon the speed with which you act when you are prosecuted. Contact us immediately.

PROVING WHO THE DRIVER IS
It is an offence for the keeper of a vehicle the driver of which is alleged to have been guilty of an offence specified in the Road Traffic Act S172, to fail to give such information as to the identity of the driver as required by a chief officer of police.
Road Traffic Act 1988 s172 (a)

Also it is an offence for a person who is not the keeper of the vehicle to fail to give, when requested by a chief officer of police, information which it is in their power to give which might have led to the identification of the driver who is alleged to be guilty of the offence specified in the Road Traffic Act 1988.
Road Traffic Act 1988 s172 (b)

	Careless Driving This motoring offence actually has a very wide definition. The driver does not have to be driving a motor vehicle but any mechanically propelled vehicle and the offence can take place not only on public roads but any other place to which the public has access. As dedicated defence lawyers we will not shy away from questioning, exposing and exploiting any weakness in a prosecution case against any of our clients who face an allegation of careless driving.
	Driving Without Insurance Allegations of no insurance often occur when an employee is driving a company car. The employer may be prosecuted for no insurance if the vehicle driven by the employee is not insured. The employer or employee should contact us immediately in this scenario because he is regarded as having control, management or operation of the vehicle and is regarded as ‘using’ it for the purpose of a no insurance prosecution.
	Failure To Stop After an Accident In a prosecution for failure to stop we advise that you contact us immediately. There is a strict duty upon motorists to stop and provide information, to people who reasonably request it, after an accident involving damage to property or injury to a person. It is important to note that you can be guilty of failure to stop even if the accident is no fault of yours. As with lot of road traffic offences, failing to stop is widely defined. It does not have to involve a motor vehicle as the Act refers to mechanically propelled vehicle. The definition of ‘accident’ tends to be regarded in a common sense way. Any ‘injury’ to a person does not have to be physical injury and can even include nervous shock.
	Avoid a Driving Ban Therefore even if you are convicted of an offence or there is no viable defence to it, we believe as expert traffic lawyers that we can help you. The law has very clearly stated what amounts to ‘special reasons’ and this often causes confusion in the mind of the lay person. We advise that you contact us as soon as you are aware of a prosecution in order that the issue of ‘special reasons’ can be discussed. In order to establish ‘special reasons’ for not endorsing a licence or not disqualifying it will usually be essential to call evidence to satisfy the court of this.
