Road Traffic Offences:

The law relating to road traffic offences is both vast and complicated and can range from your being sent a speeding ticket to more serious offences of Driving with Excess Alcohol, Dangerous Driving, and possibly even Causing Death by Dangerous Driving. Statistics show that in today’s climate and as a driver, you are likely at some stage in your life to face some sort of prosecution relating to the use of your motor vehicle. We at Constanti Shah specialise in road traffic offences and have done so for a number of years.

Should you find yourself facing such prosecution, then please contact us so that we can advise and represent you appropriately.

Publicly funded representation (legal aid) is not generally available to those prosecuted for road traffic offences such as Speeding, Driving Without Insurance, Driving Without Due Care and Attention (Careless Driving) and matters of Driving with Excess Alcohol, where your liberty is not at stake, and we at Constanti Shah undertake such work on a private basis. Depending on the nature of your case and other factors, we may charge either a fixed fee or at an hourly rate. As general guidance, we would normally charge £300 plus VAT for one appearance at a Magistrates’ Court.

For more serious Road Traffic Act matters, such as offences involving driving whilst under the influence of drugs or alcohol, where your liberty is at stake, and Causing Death by Dangerous Driving, the likelihood at this stage is that you will be granted an application for publicly funded representation.

Disqualification from Driving:

There are generally two main scenarios where you would be looking at being disqualified from driving and Constanti Shah Solicitors can assist you in avoiding disqualification in both the following scenarios.

Disqualification for “totting up”: if you accumulate 12 or more penalty points (eg., from speeding offences) the Court is obliged to disqualify you from driving for at least six months, unless it finds that there are mitigating circumstances (exceptional hardship) which would allow it to avoid imposing a disqualification. It is for you to satisfy the Court that such circumstances exist and we can help you with this.

Special Reasons

Obligatory disqualification or endorsement can only be avoided for certain offences (eg., driving with excess alcohol) where a Court finds “special reasons” for doing so. If a Court finds special reasons applicable in your case, then it may reduce your period of disqualification or you may avoid disqualification altogether.

A special reason must be “special to the facts that constitute the offence”.

We at Constanti Shah Solicitors will argue special reasons on your behalf, so that you are not disqualified from driving.

Mary Monson Solicitors

When your driving licence, or even your liberty is at stake, you need a team of experts with specialisation in Motoring Law. Some clients feel that lawyers are not always aware that a driving ban can feel like a prison sentence for people who need to drive for their job or for their family life.

We have experience in this area going back thirty years, from speeding offences to causing death by dangerous driving. We are specialists in speed camera technical defences and breathalysers.

Former clients include professional people and celebrities, but we are happy to represent anyone, anywhere in England and Wales. We only use excellent solicitors and barristers for this work, and can secure the services of a QC (the highest grade of barrister) for clients who cannot afford to take any risks. In some cases we can have driving bans reduced to a few days in length, so that our clients can resume their normal lives as soon as possible.

We operate on a fixed fee basis, and always endeavour to keep our costs reasonable. For serious offences such as causing death by dangerous driving, we can obtain Legal Aid for clients who qualify under the means test.
