Understand Your Situation
Specialist defence for serious motoring offences, including dangerous driving and causing death by driving. Our team provides authoritative guidance on technical evidence.
Serious road traffic offences, such as dangerous driving, are governed by the Road Traffic Act 1988 and recent sentencing reforms aimed at increasing accountability for serious injury or death. The Crime and Policing Bill 2025 removes the requirement for police to issue a warning before seizing vehicles associated with anti-social behaviour. Prosecution often hinges on technical definitions of 'dangerous' driving versus 'careless' driving, requiring a detailed analysis of the driving conduct and environmental conditions.
Understand Your Legal Standing
Expert legal representation is critical from the earliest stages of an investigation. A confidential consultation provides clarity on your rights and the procedural steps ahead.
Plan Your Defence
A technical defence in motoring cases involves the instruction of independent accident reconstruction experts to challenge the prosecution's account. The Sentencing Bill 2025 introduces new community order requirements, including the potential for suspended sentences of 12 months or less to shift the focus toward community supervision and probation. The role of the defence is to ensure that all mitigating factors, such as mechanical failure or medical emergencies, are fully explored to protect the client's driving licence and liberty. Furthermore, new powers allow for the disconnection of mobile handsets found in unauthorised use, reflecting the technical focus of modern road traffic investigations.
Develop a Strategic Defence
Every case involves unique evidential complexities. Specialist legal advice ensures that your version of events is properly represented and that all forensic opportunities are explored.
