Motoring

Within BCL’s Serious & General Crime department, we have a particular speciality in dealing with the broad range of motoring offences.

This includes all of the most frequently encountered motoring offences, including failing to provide the driver’s details, various document offences (such as driving without insurance), speeding, driving without due care and attention, careless or inconsiderate driving, dangerous driving, causing death by driving whilst unlicensed/uninsured/disqualified, causing death by careless or inconsiderate driving, causing death by careless driving while under the influence of drink or drugs, and causing death by dangerous driving.

Our advice and representation covers the whole spectrum, from the initial receipt of a section 172 notice of intended prosecution to any subsequent court proceedings, including advice at the police station and advocacy in the Magistrates’ Court and the Crown Court.

In addition, we have considerable expertise in relation to dealing with disqualification proceedings, particularly relating to excess penalty points and exceptional hardship arguments.

We also cover the full range of offences relating to drink/drug driving, including driving (or in charge) when under the influence of drink or drugs, driving (or in charge/attempting to drive) with excess alcohol, failing to provide a specimen of breath for screening, and failing to provide a specimen for analysis.
