All motoring offences endorseable with penalty points carry with them the potential for the imposition of a driving disqualification. For example, speeding offences are endorseable with between 3-6 penalty points each. Depending on the extent by which a limit has been exceeded a court can, and often does, disqualify a motorist even for a first offence (in which case no penalty points are endorsed).
However, the consequences of a driving ban can be severe ranging from embarrassment to loss of employment. In turn this can result in a sharp drop in income with harm spilling over into one’s personal life. As if all that weren’t enough even a short ban can sometimes result in steeply increased insurance fees for years to come. So, what can be done?
At Kent Traffic Law we specialise in saving driving licences. We can advise you how to prepare for court either to contest an allegation (ie plead ‘Not Guilty’) and seek to avoid a conviction, or, to admit an offence (ie plead ‘Guilty’) and seek to mitigate in order to minimise the length of, or even avoid, a ban. If you contact us we will advise you of your options and help you to optimise your chance of saving your driving licence.
