Common Questions About Motoring Offences

What is a Fixed Penalty Notice?

Minor traffic offences, such as speeding, are usually handled via a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) rather than through the Magistrates’ Court. An FPN can be issued on the spot by the police or sent through the post. Paying the FPN avoids prosecution, but if you believe it was wrongly issued, we can represent you in Court.

What types of sentences apply to road traffic offences?

Sentences for motoring offences can include:

• Penalty points on your licence
• Disqualification from driving
• Community service
• Fines
• Prison sentences
• Compensation orders

Is road rage a specific offence?

While there is no specific offence for road rage, actions taken during such incidents can lead to charges like careless or dangerous driving, assault, or battery.

The Court of Appeal in R. v Howells (Frank Thomas) [2002] EWCA Crim 1608 outlined sentencing for road rage involving dangerous driving without resulting accidents or injuries, setting the appropriate range between 6 and 12 months.

Why Choose Us?

Whether facing a drink driving charge or the threat of penalty points for using a mobile phone while driving, our specialist solicitors guide you every step of the way. We regularly defend clients at police stations and in the Magistrates’ and Crown Courts, assist with appeals against disqualification, and applications for early reinstatement of your licence.

We may be able to secure legal aid for you. Where legal aid is not available, our fees are reasonable and transparent, often offered as fixed fees to alleviate concerns about legal costs.

Regardless of the charges, you are entitled to a defence. We do not judge our clients; our goal is to defend you against the prosecution’s allegations. Instructing us improves your chances of acquittal or reduced sentencing. It is crucial to contact us as soon as you become aware of the charges.
