Traffic law is so technical and complex that even experts at the CPS and the police do not get it right 100% of the time. Seeking support from experienced solicitors in motoring and road traffic cases will ensure you have the best possible defence against any allegations you may be facing.

At Straw & Pearce we can help with:

• Drink driving offences
• Speeding and cameras
• Notices to provide information
• Totting up and driving disqualifications
• Taxi and private hire
• Dangerous and careless driving
• Motorway offences

We successfully and regularly defend allegations of drink driving, failing to provide specimens, speeding and careless driving. We can show you how 12 points does not necessarily mean the loss of your licence; “obligatory” disqualification or endorsement can still be avoided.

Key stages

This will depend on the particular circumstances of your case, however, presuming that you have entered a guilty plea and have a date set for your hearing, at which the matter will be dealt with conclusively, your case will include the following stages:

• Your formal instruction for us to act as your solicitors 
• Our consideration of initial disclosure, any other evidence and provision of advice
• Explanation of the court procedure so you know what to expect on the day of your hearing
• Explanation of the sentencing options available to the court
• Attending court on the day and representing you – this usually needs us to attend for up to half a day as there will be some waiting time
• Discussing the implications of the outcome with you (note that this does not include advising on your options to appeal).
