Drink Driving/Excess Alcohol

A conviction for Drink Driving/Excess Alcohol has serious implications for the driver. If convicted you face an obligatory disqualification in most cases.

HOWEVER, the situation is not beyond repair. The Court of Appeal has regularly stated that the Police must follow the statutory guidelines as set out in the Road Traffic Act. In most cases the Police do get it right but sometimes they do not. The Road Traffic Act is extremely complex and any breach of the guidelines by the Police is likely to result in an acquittal.

Bearing in mind the consequences of a conviction and subsequent disqualification it is always advisable to seek the advice of a specialist motoring lawyer to examine the case in detail to make sure there are no procedural irregularities or breaches of the statutory procedure.

Even if you have to plead guilty we advise you special reasons may exist for you not to be disqualified so it is always worth getting advice from us to see if your circumstances fit the necessary criteria.
