Specialist Defence

Specialist Speeding Offence Solicitors

Speeding is one of the most commonly prosecuted road traffic offences in England and Wales. Although many cases are dealt with by fixed penalty, more serious allegations can result in substantial fines, penalty points, driving disqualification and, in some cases, the loss of employment where driving is essential.

Whether you have been accused of exceeding a motorway speed limit, speeding in a 20mph zone or travelling at very high speed, every case should be carefully examined before deciding how to proceed.

Our solicitors advise motorists from the earliest stage of the investigation through to Magistrates' Court proceedings, appeals and applications relating to driving disqualification.

Detection Methods

Speeding offences may be detected by:

–

Fixed speed cameras

–

Average speed camera systems

–

Mobile camera enforcement units

–

Laser speed detection devices

–

Radar equipment

–

Police officer observations

The prosecution must establish that the speed measurement was lawfully obtained and that the evidence satisfies the required legal standard.

Speed Limits

Speed limits vary depending on the type of road, the class of vehicle being driven and local traffic regulation orders.

Many local authorities have introduced additional 20mph speed limits in residential and urban areas. These are enforced in the same way as other speed limits and can lead to prosecution where appropriate.

If you are unsure whether a particular speed limit applied, our solicitors can advise on the relevant legislation and available evidence.

Penalties

Possible Penalties

The penalty for speeding depends upon several factors, including the speed alleged, the applicable speed limit, your previous driving record, and whether the matter is dealt with by fixed penalty or court proceedings.

Possible penalties include:

–

Fixed penalty notices

–

Penalty points

–

Financial penalties

–

Speed awareness courses where offered

–

Driving disqualification in more serious cases

Excessive speeds, particularly allegations involving speeds exceeding 100mph, are frequently dealt with by the courts rather than by fixed penalty.

Totting Up

Totting Up Disqualification

If you already have penalty points on your licence, a speeding conviction may place you at risk of a totting up disqualification.

Where appropriate, we advise motorists on:

–

Totting up proceedings

–

Exceptional hardship applications

–

Mitigation before the court

–

Appeals against sentence

Each application depends upon its own facts and supporting evidence.
