This work covers offences and enforcement arising under the Road Traffic Act 1988 in England. It includes offences such as drink-driving, drug-driving, speeding, dangerous driving, careless and reckless driving, and other driving offences captured by the Act. A solicitor practising here advises on consequences of charges, drafts and reviews statements, represents clients in police and magistrates’ court hearings, negotiates with the Crown Prosecution Service, and applies for or opposes disqualifications, appeals, or penalties. The work is shaped by court procedures, DVLA processes, and regulator rules for driving offences.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor handles the statutory provisions, admissible evidence, and procedural steps: from initial investigation and charges, to disclosure, representations, and plea or trial in magistrates’ court; consideration of disqualification, penalty points, fines, and potential imprisonment where applicable; liaising with the DVLA about driving licence status and medical conditions; and managing any appeals or reviews.
