In England, ‘Special Reasons’ covers the narrow grounds a magistrate can accept to avoid disqualifying a driver when a driving offence has occurred, typically after a drink-drive or similar offence. A solicitor explains whether the facts may meet the test for special reasons, and helps gather evidence to support that argument. They prepare submissions for the magistrates’ court, obtain medical records, letters from employers, and any other material that could show why a ban would be unjust or overly harsh, and they represent the client at the hearing.

Where a solicitor protects your position

Special Reasons submissions hinge on circumstances that would make a disqualification disproportionate. A solicitor collects medical reports, explains how health or other exceptional factors affected the offence, and frames these factors to the court. The process is time-bound and outcome-dependent, with the magistrates’ discretion deciding whether to exercise leniency in place of a ban.
