Road Traffic Offences

Metcalfe David Eyres and their legal team provide expert advice if you receive a summons or penalty notice for a road traffic offence.

If convicted in many cases this can lead to penalty points being endorsed on your Licence, and disqualification from driving along with a large financial penalty.

We can help in most cases and assist with your defence or offer mitigation with a view to a reduced sentence and protect against possible disqualification.

Some offences carry a mandatory disqualification such as drink driving and dangerous driving.

A disqualification may follow if you obtain twelve penalty points endorsed on your Licence within three years. In those circumstances you may escape disqualification if you experience exceptional hardship as a result of the conviction.

Some of the offences we deal with include:

  • Speeding
  • Careless driving (due care and attention)
  • Driving without a Licence
  • Driving without insurance
  • Driving whilst unfit drink or drugs
  • Dangerous driving
  • Causing death by dangerous driving
  • Driving a defective vehicle

Many cases of disqualification from driving may lead to loss of employment and in turn may result in financial hardship.

Early expert legal advice is essential.

When Legal Aid is not available we offer a fixed fee service along with a free initial advice interview.
