Drink Driving Solicitor

Drink Driving Lawyers

Drink driving is one of the most serious motoring offences – especially if a road accident or injury to another road user results.

Police will require suspected drink drivers to undergo a breathalyser test by the road side, as well as blood and urine tests at a police station – refusing to provide samples is a serious offence in itself.

Drivers caught drink driving or drunk in charge face serious penalties – including a driving ban or even prison.

Drink driving is a criminal offence and convicted drivers face having a criminal record.

In cases where drivers rely on their vehicles for their work or family duties, a driving ban as a result of drink driving can be extremely serious – and may cost a convicted driver their livelihood.

Duncan Lewis drink driving solicitors have considerable expertise in defending cases involving drink driving – including attending police interview and advising on reducing the length of any driving ban.

In some cases, it may be possible to prove that a drinking driving charge was actually flawed, or a sample provided was contaminated.

In some cases, alcohol might have been consumed after a road accident, but before giving a blood or urine sample – if, for example, a drink was “spiked” with alcohol before giving samples at a police station.
