The Court Process The initial Stages If a driver has been charged with a road offence or refused a Fixed Penalty the police will send a report to the Procurator Fiscal (PF). The PF is responsible for the prosecution of. Your mobile phone is buzzing away in your pocket and you know that you shouldn't check it.
Any driver involved in a road traffic accident must stop and provide their details. If a driver does not comply with this requirement he must report the accident to the police as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any case, within 24 hours of the accident. Accordingly, two separate offences can arise following an accident.
The law provides the police with wide powers to ascertain the identity of the person driving a vehicle at the time of any alleged motoring offence. Frequently referred to as the "172 Requirement" the police can require the registered keeper of a vehicle to identify the driver of the vehicle at a particular time.
It is an offence to exceed the speed limit that applies to a particular class of road. In practice, however, it is unlikely that a driver will face prosecution if he has exceeded the speed limit by just a few miles per hour. It is not a defence that you only exceeded the speed limit momentarily in order, for example, to complete an overtaking manoeuvre.

Checked online at the best road traffic lawyers in central Scotland and Dominic showed up in the top 3. I was appealing for an early removal of a driving disqualification and due to Dominic's expertise it got accepted! only downside was the wait due to the pandemic but it was out with his hands.
would highly recommend and his reviews back this up!

I recently found myself in a very difficult road traffic offence situation and needing a lawyer, was unsure which firm to choose from the array on the internet. I came across the website for Dominic Sellar & Co, felt a genuineness there and immediately contacted Dominic.
I have to say Dominic delivered exactly as it says on the tin and at a fixed fee price worth every penny. He was helpful to a fault, always replied promptly, made me feel as reassured as I could be, efficient, straight talking about my position, lots of energy, confident, and clearly knew how to work the law to best advantage

Professional, calm, realistic and reassuring is how I would describe Dominic. A first class traffic lawyer who reassured me during what was a stressful situation. Anything I was unsure or unaware of he explained in a calm and patient way guiding me through each step. In the end my case was dropped due to Dominic’s professional working practice. I would recommend him to anyone who required help with road traffic issues.

I was unfairly charged with driving my wife's new car without insurance, however, she had told me it was insured. It happened during stressful times. Also, I had six points from speed cameras that were from three years ago. I was going to loose my license for six months. But Dominic managed too fight my case and win, as a result I was admonished, saving my license. I really recommend Dominic.

Excellent advice from Dominic regarding my case. Kept updated at all times. Was very impressed with Dominic's communication, always answered his phone or called back very promptly and always took the time to answer any and all questions. Always felt I was in good hands. Case ended up exactly as Dominic predicted and I had hoped for. Thanks again .

Dominic was a true gentleman and as a mother who's son was being convicted of a driving offence he was able to give me peace of mind every step of the way. Dominic went above and beyond to communicate with both myself and my son to ensure that we fully understood the case at all times and he answered all of my questions quickly and in layman's terms so as not to cause any confusion. Dominic was a true professional on the trial diet and was able to fight my son's corner and the case was dismissed. A fantastic outcome. His sheer determination to get the right result paid off and I cannot thank Dominic
