Traffic fines cover penalties issued for road traffic offences such as speeding, driving without due care, or running a red light. A solicitor specialising in this area handles the response to a Fixed Penalty Notice, represents clients at Magistrates’ Courts when a defence or mitigation is needed, and can appeal a conviction or sentence where appropriate. They also advise on disqualification risks and points on a driving licence, and handle related applications or appeals to higher courts if necessary.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
Fixed penalties rely on detailed schedules and potential defences; a solicitor navigates representations, mitigation, and possible options to contest or reduce penalties. They review breath or blood test results, challenge procedural errors, and manage the interaction with the police and prosecuting authorities. Where the case escalates, they prepare for trial or appeal, ensuring the client’s rights are protected and procedural steps are correctly followed.
