Road Traffic & Driving Offences

We have extensive experience in successfully defending clients facing penalty points, driving bans, large fines, and even possible imprisonment. If you have been accused of a motoring offence, such as drink driving, speeding, careless driving, dangerous driving, or driving without insurance, our team of expert traffic law solicitors near you can help.

Some offences, such as allegations of dangerous driving or those involving a death or serious injury, may need to go to the Crown Court. However, the vast majority of road traffic offences—including speeding, careless or inconsiderate driving, failing to provide a specimen of breath for analysis, failing to stop after an accident, driving while disqualified, or driving without insurance—are typically dealt with in a magistrates’ court.

Whatever the offence you’re facing, our experienced solicitors for drink driving offences and motoring offences who are based in Kent can provide expert advice and representation.
