Graduated fixed penalties cover a lane of fixed penalties that increase with repetition for certain driving offences, typically including minor speeding, careless driving, or similar offences where a police officer can offer a fixed penalty rather than a full court process. A solicitor practising this area helps you understand what penalties you qualify for, how they escalate, and whether you should accept the fixed penalty or elect to go to court. They draft and review any representations to the police, guide you on whether a driver awareness course or other alternatives are available, and, if you contest the penalty, represent you in court and negotiate with the Crown Prosecution Service or the police on your behalf.
Graduated schemes hinge on thresholds and repeats, where penalties or points can mount quickly and carry serious consequences for driving licences. A solicitor can ensure the correct procedure is followed, check that you meet the eligibility criteria for a fixed penalty, review the notice for errors, and handle any court proceedings or appeals if you decide to dispute the penalty.

Tagged solicitor Paris Phillips-Morris
I used Paris as my solicitor for a Drink-driving offence I had committed. I found her and the rest of the team at Ashtons Legal LLP very professional and also supportive in assisting me with it. I would have no hesitation recommending her services.
