Loughborough Motoring Offence Solicitors

Speeding is one of the most common motoring offences in the UK and can lead to a range of consequences, including penalty points, fines and, in some circumstances, disqualification from driving.

If you are facing a speeding offence, you may be unsure about what happens next or concerned about the potential consequences. Our Loughborough motoring solicitors can provide clear, practical legal advice and help you understand your options.

Speeding offences are often detected by speed cameras or other enforcement measures. If a vehicle is recorded travelling above the applicable speed limit, the registered keeper will usually receive a Section 172 notice by post. This notice requires the registered keeper to identify who was driving the vehicle at the time of the alleged offence.

It is important to deal with a Section 172 notice correctly and within the required timeframe. Failing to provide the requested information can result in a separate offence, which may lead to a conviction and six penalty points being added to your driving licence.

The consequences of a speeding offence can vary depending on the circumstances. Penalties may include penalty points, fines and, in more serious cases, disqualification from driving. Having points on your licence can also lead to increased insurance premiums. If you already have penalty points, accumulating further points could result in a 'totting up' disqualification.

In some circumstances, the court may consider disqualification even where you have no previous penalty points. This can occur where the alleged speed is significantly above the applicable limit.

Our solicitors can assess your circumstances, explain the potential outcome and advise whether there are grounds to challenge the allegation or present exceptional circumstances to the court.

We understand how important your driving licence can be, particularly if you rely on your vehicle for work, family commitments or everyday travel. Our experienced solicitors can guide you through the process, provide tailored legal advice and help you understand the best way to approach your case.
