Drug driving

Facing a drug driving allegation can be daunting, especially with the risk of a one-year driving ban, an unlimited fine, or even a prison sentence.

We understand how complex these cases can be, particularly when medical defences or issues with police procedures arise.

From police station representation to court appearances, we will ensure your rights are protected at every stage and provide clear, strategic guidance tailored to your circumstances.

Failing to identify the driver

If you have been accused of failing to identify the driver of a vehicle under Section 172 of the Road Traffic Act, it is important to act quickly.

This offence can result in substantial fines, six penalty points, or even disqualification.

At JD Spicer Zeb, our expert driving offence solicitors in Manchester use over 45 years of experience to assess the evidence, identify procedural flaws, and build a strong defence.

Whether you have been contacted by the police or summoned to court, we will provide immediate, tailored legal support.

Surpassing 12 penalty points (totting up)

If you have accumulated 12 or more penalty points on your licence, you could be facing an automatic driving ban.

Whether you are disputing the underlying offences or have an exceptional hardship argument, our specialist driving offence solicitors in Manchester will work closely with you to prepare a strong defence.

With immediate support and clear motoring legal advice, we are here to help protect your licence and your livelihood.

Speeding offences

If you have been accused of exceeding a speed limit, you could face penalties ranging from fines and penalty points to driving bans.

At JD Spicer Zeb, our experienced speeding offence solicitors understand the complexities of these cases and can identify opportunities to challenge the charges.

Whether this is through negotiating reduced penalties, appealing fixed penalty notices, or contesting procedural errors like late notices or missing signage, we can offer clear, practical advice.

We will support you through every stage, helping protect your licence and minimise the legal consequences.

Driving whilst disqualified

If you have been accused of driving while disqualified, you could face serious penalties, and it is important to seek expert legal advice immediately.

Our specialist solicitors understand that there are circumstances, such as mistaken identity or medical emergencies, where a strong defence can be made.

We will carefully investigate your case, support you through police station interviews, and represent you in court.

If you are being charged with additional offences, such as driving without insurance, we will work to achieve the best possible outcome.

Driving while using a mobile

If you are facing allegations for using a mobile phone while driving, it is important to understand the law and seek expert legal advice.

Holding a phone or sat nav while driving, even at traffic lights or in queues, is illegal unless using hands-free devices.

Penalties can include six penalty points and fines up to £1,000 for smaller vehicles, or £2,500 for larger goods vehicles, with possible driving bans.

Our specialist solicitors can offer clear guidance and robust defence, supporting you from police interviews through to court proceedings.

Careless driving

Allegations of careless driving, especially where a death has occurred, are extremely serious and can lead to imprisonment and the loss of your licence. Our experienced solicitors understand the weight of these charges and will work quickly to assess the facts, challenge evidence, and build the strongest possible defence.

From the initial police interview through to court proceedings, we can offer clear legal guidance and robust representation, tailored to your circumstances.

Where a conviction cannot be avoided, we will focus on presenting powerful mitigation to help reduce the penalties.

Throughout the process, we provide straightforward legal advice and support during what can be a stressful time.

Dangerous driving

Allegations of dangerous driving are serious and can result in a prison sentence, a lengthy driving ban, and a compulsory retest.

Our solicitors will assess every detail of the case against you and will build a strong defence to challenge the allegation or reduce the severity of the penalty.

We will provide clear legal advice and robust representation, helping you understand your rights and options while working to secure the best possible outcome for your case.

Exceptional hardship

If you are facing a driving ban after accumulating 12 or more penalty points, an exceptional hardship application may help you keep your licence.

However, these arguments are subject to close scrutiny by the court and must be well supported with evidence.

Our experienced solicitors will guide you through every step of the process, ensuring your argument is professionally presented and stands up to challenge in court, giving you the best chance of success.

Special reasons

If you are facing a driving offence charge, a successful special reasons argument could mean avoiding a disqualification or penalty points altogether.

Special reasons are not defences to the offence itself, but they can significantly reduce the sentence if accepted by the court.

These arguments must relate directly to the circumstances of the offence, such as driving in an emergency or being misled into believing you were insured, and they must be supported by strong evidence.

Our experienced solicitors understand how to build and present these nuanced arguments effectively, helping you secure a more favourable outcome.
