Motoring law is complex, because a court always has to take into account the wider implications a driving disqualification has on the life and livelihood of the recipient. 

 

As specialist motoring lawyers, Sampson Bailey has the legal expertise to represent our clients when facing motoring charges and provide them the best chance of avoiding disqualification or even jail time.
 

• 12 points driving ban

A 6 month ban from accumulating 12 points (a totting up ban) is potentially disastrous for you and your dependents. We are able to present a case of Exceptional Hardship that means a court can overturn such a ban and keep you on the road.

 

• Drink driving 

Driving whilst over the prescribed limit of alcohol carries a minimum 12 month ban. However, there are mitigating circumstances for arguing a defence if you test over the alcohol limit .

​

• Drug driving 

For drug driving charges to hold, prosecution must establish that the presence of an illegal substance impaired your ability to drive. This is often hard to prove, and we can create a strong defence on your behalf.

 

• Driving whilst disqualified

If you are arrested whilst disqualified for driving, you are entitled to legal representation before being interviewed at the police station. Contact us immediately, and we will come and act on your behalf.

 

• Speeding 

If you receive a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) or a letter summoning you to court, call Sampson Bailey before you accept either. There are many circumstances that invalidate such a charge that we may be able to cite on your behalf.

 

• Failure to provide a specimen

There are a number of legitimate reasons why you may have failed to provide a sample on demand (breath, blood, urine). When you contact us we can consider any procedural irregularities committed during the testing process that may be used in your defence.
