Motoring Offences Defended
Speeding Offences
Many motorists assume speeding allegations are straightforward. In reality, there may be issues concerning the accuracy of speed detection equipment, identification of the driver, procedural compliance or the admissibility of evidence.
Where appropriate, Navid challenges the prosecution's case and advises clients on the strongest available defence.
Drink Driving
Drink driving allegations often involve complex procedural requirements relating to roadside tests, evidential breath specimens, blood or urine samples and police procedure. Navid carefully examines every stage of the investigation to identify weaknesses in the prosecution's case while presenting compelling mitigation where appropriate.
Drug Driving
Drug driving prosecutions frequently depend upon scientific evidence and statutory procedures. Navid has experience analysing expert evidence and advising clients on the legal and evidential issues arising in these cases.
Dangerous and Careless Driving
These allegations can carry severe penalties, including lengthy disqualification, imprisonment and significant reputational damage.
Navid provides robust representation in both contested trials and sentencing hearings.
Totting Up Disqualification
Accumulating twelve or more penalty points usually results in disqualification.
Where exceptional hardship can properly be established, Navid prepares detailed evidence and presents persuasive legal submissions aimed at enabling clients to retain their driving licence wherever the law permits.
Early Advice Can Make the Difference
Many motoring cases are won long before the trial begins.
Obtaining specialist advice immediately after receiving:
-
a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP)
-
a Section 172 request
-
a postal requisition
-
a court summons
-
a charge by the police
-
can significantly improve your position and help avoid costly mistakes.
