    Careless driving covers behaving behind the wheel in a way that falls below the standard a reasonable driver would meet, including drifting into another lane, failing to signal, or momentary inattention. A solicitor practicing in this area helps you understand the possible penalties, how liability is assessed, and what evidence the police and prosecutors will rely on. They handle the full process in court, including challenging or presenting witness statements, and advise on the consequences if a conviction proceeds.

    “After phoning around a number of solicitors and been quoted crazy money I was advised to speak to Poole and Alcock by a friend of mine. Best decision I could have made. Tim Edgley was refreshing to deal with and made me feel extremely comfortable in a worrying time. The outcome of the case was 100% better than expected and can’t thanks Tim and the team enough. Highly recommend. ”
