Dangerous Driving

Driving Offence Solicitor

 

Dangerous driving is one of the most serious motoring offences – and may carry a prison sentence or suspended prison sentence, as well as a large fine and disqualification.

 

Less serious offences involving dangerous driving may result in a fine and a community order.

 

However, convictions for dangerous driving can cover a wide range of circumstances, involving single offences such as speeding, driving while disqualified, driving without due care and attention on busy roads or in built up areas – or more complex circumstances involving damage to vehicles and injury to others.

 

If a driver already has a track record of driving offences, the penalty for dangerous driving is likely to be heavier – and in the most serious cases involving causing death by dangerous driving, an offence may be tried at Crown Court and a prison sentence may be imposed.

 

Charges involving speeding or racing other motorists on the public highway could result in a 12-week prison sentence – and any offence involving dangerous driving which risks the safety of others or disregards the safety of others is likely to be tried at Crown Court.

 

Disqualification for dangerous driving is likely to last between 12 and 24 months, which may depend on any previous disqualifications.

 

Because charges involving dangerous driving are complex, it is vital to seek expert legal advice from a motoring law solicitor as soon as possible.

 

Duncan Lewis motoring offence solicitors can advise car drivers, motorcyclists and HGV drivers on charges involving dangerous driving – and have considerable experience in defending cases involving drivers with more than one disqualification, as well as advising on appeals for early reinstatement of a driving licence.
