Being faced with a motoring, driving or any road traffic offences can be daunting, especially when fines, penalty points and disqualifications from driving can threaten your freedom, personal life and income. At Lex Vindico Group, our specialist driving offence solicitors will guide you through the minefield of road traffic law. We can defend you against any motoring and Road Traffic Act related offences, including some of the most common driving offences such as speeding, drink driving, careless driving and even dangerous driving.
Before advising you upon the prospects of success in your case, our specialist motoring barristers will go through the prosecution case against you, to work out whether the standard to which the CPS must prove the case, has been met. A meticulous approach adopted by specialist barristers as such, has led to the CPS to dismiss many driving related matters i.e. the case falls short before getting to court.
Our expert team will work with you to get a positive result. Whether it is proactive representation that you require before any formal charges have been made (whilst you are released under investigation or on police bail) or, if you have been summonsed to attend Court, or even, if you require advice on appeal against a wrongful conviction or lengthy sentence; our expert motoring solicitors will provide you with proactive legal representation and advice from the countries leading lawyers. At Lex Vindico Group, we leave nothing to chance.
Motoring and driving offences cover a wide range of UK Road Traffic law breaches. Our expert lawyers advise and represent clients in any and every matter in motoring law, ranging from the minor driving allegations such as speeding, to the more serious allegations which arise out of fatal road traffic collisions, where at least one person loses their life. Each offence carries its own set of penalties, from fixed fines to driving bans/disqualifications or, in extreme cases, custodial sentences. Some of the offences that our motoring expert lawyers have dealt with, in both defence and prosecution, are as follows:-
Our specialist motoring solicitors together with leading motoring offence barristers can also assist on advising and representing clients with:-
It’s essential to understand the implications of any driving allegations, charges and motoring convictions. Penalties for driving offences can affect your ability to drive in the future, and your employment; if driving is a key part of your job. Lex Vindico Group's lawyers regularly represent individuals who rely on their driving licences, as a way of their daily life and cannot risk a driving ban, under any circumstances.
Whether you use your drivers licence commercially i.e. if you are a taxi driver, lorry driver or bus driver, or, if you are in the educational driving field regulated by DVSA, or even, if you rely on your drivers licence to remain within your employment (because you drive to and from work, or perhaps, even drive for work - other options of getting around may simply not be possible because of your circumstances) then get in touch with our specialist motoring offence solicitors today.

If the CPS have faltered, our lawyers can expose any shortcomings which would be to your advantage. Our specialist team has experience in both defending, and prosecuting driving related allegations, which is why we understand every tactic that can be used against you by the CPS. Our client's often benefit greatly from this perspective of legal representation, as we keep our client's a step ahead, at every stage.
Whether you are released under investigation for a driving offence, or have been granted bail for any motoring matter, the CPS and the police are yet to decide whether you should be charged with a criminal offence. By waiting around for a decision from the police, you are wasting a valuable opportunity for you to defend yourself. Whilst other traditional law firms may advise you to 'wait until you hear back', we would advise you to be proactive with your defence. If you are able to frontload your defence now, it can influence the decision-makers mind and prevent or reduce charges against you in the future. Proactive representation can only assist your case and maximise your chances of a successful outcome.
Our dedicated team have assisted in serious driving-related matters at pre charge, even in fatal circumstances where the allegation is one of causing death by dangerous driving, our client's have escaped the jaws of a conviction, due to their proactive nature. Many clients who call us initially, requiring solicitors are completely unaware of the idea of proactive legal defence, but give themselves a higher-chance of success through our proactive legal advice. If you have any questions, seek legal advice now, it can only help the cause.
If you are facing disqualification, penalty points or even imprisonment, then our specialist motoring solicitors can assist you. Whether it is by proactive written representations to the CPS, trial at Court, or a guilty plea. We would obtain a complete statement from you of the driving incident, and the CPS evidence including requesting further information, before formally advising you on your next move. Our motoring solicitors can represent you in any court in England and Wales.
Understanding your case is the first step to building a defence. Our solicitors, with their extensive knowledge of road traffic law, will conduct a comprehensive review of the allegations or charges against you, the evidence, and the aggravating and mitigating factors. Whether you’ve received a Notice of Intended Prosecution or a court summons, you can be confident that we’ll guide you on what to do next wherever in England and Wales your case may be.
Legal representation is crucial at every stage of a motoring case. Our solicitors will support and represent you throughout the process, including during police interviews and investigations to ensure your rights are protected. If the matter goes to court, we’ll advocate for you to present your case. Even if you wish to enter a guilty plea (if that is the best route for you and the route you wish to take). Our legal experts will prepare the Court a mitigation bundle providing compelling arguments and reasoning to mitigate your sentence, penalty points and driving ban. Otherwise, a specialist motoring barrister will represent your interests at trial.
Defending a motoring offence requires the expertise of motoring offence solicitors who provide bespoke legal advice and representation. Our team will examine every aspect of your case, from speed camera data to breathalyser results, to mechanical failures. Procedural errors, can often reduce penalties or cause charges to be dropped, without the need of court attendance. We work closely with accident reconstruction experts who would be able to demonstrate, for example, that the driving in question was not careless or dangerous.
For those who want to appeal a conviction or sentence, Lex Vindico Group offers advice on appeal delivered by specialist appeals counsel. Whether you want to challenge a driving ban or get your licence back earlier, our solicitors will guide you through the process and advise you on the best course of action available to you, with the least risk.
Exceeding the speed limit is one of the most common motoring offences. Penalties vary depending on the severity of the breach and whether it put others in danger. Possible defences include disputing the accuracy and calibration of speed camera equipment. Depending on the weather and road conditions that you were speeding in, and whether it was a heavily populated pedestrian zone during rush hours, the CPS could deem your driving as reckless, or even careless.
The registered keeper of a vehicle has an onus to provide driver's details if their vehicle had been involved in a driving offence. Failing to respond to a Notice of Intended Prosecution (S172 Notice) without any reasonable excuse, will lead to them being charged with a S172 RTA 1988 offence. Costs involved may be a fine of up to £1000 and 6 points of penalty imposed.
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs carries severe penalties, including disqualification and imprisonment. The penalties can vary greatly depending on whether you plead guilty or not guilty; guilty pleas often result in reduced sentences. Failing to provide a specimen when required by police can result in extra charges. Our solicitors will challenge the evidence presented, the testing equipment, or procedural errors during the arrest. Alternatively, with not guilty pleas, our experts would prepare a robust defence for trial. If you had been drugged involuntarily, or had consumed alcohol after the period of your driving, but before you were breathalysed, then you may have a defence available to you in law. Our motoring lawyers can protect you from a mandatory driving disqualification, and even prison. Contact our solicitors today for a confidential and discreet chat.
There are three typical scenarios where you would be asked to provide a specimen under Section 7 RTA 1988:-
If you refuse to, or fail to provide a specimen (without good reason) which has been legally requested from you, then you may have committed a serious offence, which attracts a mandatory 12 month disqualification from driving (or up to 36 months ban for those repeat offenders). Contact our lawyers today as you may have had a reasonable excuse for failing to provide a specimen.
Charges of careless or dangerous driving can arise from various road traffic offences, including accidents, reckless driving and even racing.
Careless driving is behaviour that falls below the expected standard of a competent driver, such as running a red light. In contrast, dangerous driving is behaviour that falls far below the expected standard of a competent driver, creating a significant risk to others.
Presenting evidence that challenges the prosecution’s version of events can reduce or drop charges but these cases must be dealt with proactively with representations on an ongoing basis. If you believe that your driving was safe and acceptable, or, if you have a reasonable excuse for your standard of driving on that occasion in question, then our team hold the key to help you avoid a mandatory 12 months driving disqualification (minimum), exorbitant costs in fines and up to 24 months imprisonment (for dangerous driving). We can help keep you protected from a criminal conviction.
It is agreed that road traffic accidents can happen in any moment, and within that moment, if someone is injured, the legal consequences for you can be life-changing. Our motoring offence team handle these cases with discretion and proactivity. We understand the sensitivity of such cases which is why our approach entails forensic attention to detail, challenging police procedure and instructing experts of our own for recreation of the accident. We use specialist barristers only, so the attention and care you get is unmatched. Pre charge representations could prevent you from being charged, if you are under investigation by the police/CPS. Our experts can also provide you unrivalled advocacy at Crown Court during trial. The benefit Lex Vindico Group has over other law firms is that, even when we're preparing your case for trial, we will always seek avenues towards your case being dismissed.
"If we can get your case dropped before trial, as our lawyer's have successfully on many occasions; then you don't need to leave your future in the hands of a jury."

These offences are the most serious driving-related offences in the UK, as they involve the loss of at least one life. At Lex Vindico Group, we understand that if you are under investigation, or are charged with either of these offences, or even causing serious injury by careless or dangerous driving, life can become overwhelming and uncertain. These offences can be aggravated by excess alcohol, drugs, and failings to provide specimen offences.
As these offences carry life-changing punishments, up to 14 years in custody, it is important that you obtain expert advice. We provide unrivalled expertise and our specialist motoring offence solicitors are equipped in dealing with these cases, proactively through the services of pre charge representation. Whether you are under investigation, or have been charged, we would bring a specialist barrister on board who would make written submissions to the CPS seeking a review, to either drop charges, or persuade the CPS against charging you, or your loved ones. The said representations would be evidence based, containing expert analysis, exploiting all the weaknesses in the CPS case early on. Whilst marking the CPS's weaknesses, the representations would contain our strong points, with witness statements from individuals known to you, as well as any medical evidence that can assist your case.
This would guarantee you the best opportunity of a positive result, combined with the best legal representation available for the offences, in England and Wales.
Given that our specialist barrister's have prosecuted offences as such, they would bring a unique understanding of the CPS tactics, which could help us strategise and negotiate on your behalf. Our strategies in defending allegations provide peace of mind to our clients so contact our motoring solicitors for a chat, or even a second opinion, today.
Using a handheld device while driving is strictly prohibited and carries fines and penalty points. Defences can include proving that the device was not used for communication or navigation purposes at the time of the alleged offence.
Lex Vindico Group offers proactive defence. We will represent you at Court, and during the process, we will forensically analyse the evidence against you. Our specialist motoring barristers would make written representations to the CPS seeking a review on the charges. This can either strengthen your defence, or have the case dropped entirely. Either way, we leave nothing to chance and control every single variable in our power, to your benefit. Our team has access to the best motoring barristers available in the United Kingdom, so if you want do everything in your power to help your situation, your success starts with a call with us today.
Professional drivers, including those in logistics, the driving profession (DVSA) or public transporting services, face specific issues when facing charges with motoring offences. Penalty points or disqualification can affect not only your ability to drive but also your employment, especially if driving is a key part of your job. Therefore, exploring all defences at pre charge is essential to protect your livelihood. In some instances, the regulators will also become involved following allegations of motoring offences. Our lawyers are well equipped in dealing with the criminal, and civil elements of the case, having particular success at achieving 'no further action' following pre charge representation. By preventing or reversing charges, we can make sure that your professional life continues, and your licence remains unaffected, restoring peace in your life. Alternatively, we would provide you with a motoring specialist barrister for your trial, to leave nothing to chance, where your livelihood is concerned.
Early legal intervention can make a significant difference in motoring offence cases. By seeking advice as soon as you are under investigation, you can take control of your situation, allowing our solicitors to prepare a strong defence and potentially reduce any penalties you may face. Pre charge representations gives you the greatest chance of having your case dropped, before it gets to Court. Attacking the veracity of the CPS case against you should be done early on. The later you leave it, the more you allow chances of success to slip away. The more you wait, the longer the prosecution have invested time and resources in prosecuting you.
If you fall in the following list, then you could benefit most from our proactive defence strategies:-
When totting up to 12 penalty points is likely to result in a driving ban, exceptional hardship arguments can prevent a disqualification. To succeed in an exceptional hardship argument, you must prove to the Court (to the civil standard) that the driving ban would cause excessive hardship, which is more than a mere inconvenience. To simply suggest that you will lose your job as a result of being disqualified will not suffice. Our lawyers can advise you on what may or may not constitute an exceptional hardship, before mounting it to your defence.
Unlike exceptional hardship arguments, special reasons are a legal mechanism that focus on the circumstances of the offence, rather than the consequences of the sentence imposed/disqualification. Special reasons can be used to avoid penalty points or a driving disqualification where the questionable driving was i.e. for a medical emergency, unavoidable, short distance, mechanical defence or malfunction. Technically, the driver would be guilty of the offence charged, but would be submitting a special reason as to why he or she should avoid penalty points or a disqualification.
A Notice of Intended Prosecution (S172 notice) notifies you of the alleged motoring offences and requires a response within a specific timeframe. Failing to respond can result in extra penalties, so act fast.
Motoring offence court hearings are usually in Magistrates' courts, although the more serious or complex driving cases go to Crown Courts. Lex Vindico Group is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, so you can be assured of high-quality legal representation. You can plead guilty or contest the charges, and representation is key to getting the best outcome. If you have been charged, our experts will review the case to ensure procedural fairness before any trial. We would look for avenues of case dismissal throughout the process. Either way, at Lex Vindico Group, we promise you great advocacy at Court, which would reflect well on you and keep you informed and ahead of the process.
Penalties for motoring offences can include fines and penalty points, disqualification, or imprisonment. Mitigating factors, such as a clean driving record, can reduce the sentence while aggravating factors can increase it.
If you've been convicted of a motoring offence, you have the option to appeal the conviction or apply for an early licence back. Our solicitors will guide you through these processes, advising on the chances of success and the associated costs. They will also represent you during these proceedings, advocating for the best possible outcome for your case. If you have been found guilty of an offence, and have been sentenced incorrectly, contact our solicitors today for an advice upon conviction and/or sentence. We can help getting your driving ban reduced or even, removed altogether. We use bespoke appeal barristers so act fast! There are strict time limits for an appeal.
Respond quickly and seek advice to understand your options and avoid extra penalties.
Yes - once our lawyers review the evidence in your case, we can put the investigators on notice that we will be serving representations. That gives us time to frontload your defence. We would evidence gather with you, and serve the bundle to the CPS before they make a decision to charge. We have more chance convincing them of 'no further action' at that stage, than to try to reverse the criminal charges after you've been charged.
Exceptional hardship arguments can sometimes prevent disqualification if losing your licence would cause personal or professional hardship, or hardships to other innocent parties.
Fines, disqualification or imprisonment depending on the offence and previous convictions.
Representation ensures evidence is thoroughly examined and mitigating factors are presented to reduce penalties.
Refusing a breathalyser, blood test or urine sample can result in extra charges, but procedural errors or medical conditions can be a defence.
Even for minor cases, advice can help protect your licence and avoid unintended consequences.
