Described as "fearless" in court by his Senior Partner 15 years ago, Jonathan Paul is now a seasoned defence lawyer working in his own firm specialising in defending clients accused of motoring offences. At a time when the Scottish Government has recently confirmed an increase in road traffic prosecutions of almost 15%, at Driver Defender we are of the opinion that Scottish drivers need defending robustly more than ever.
Depending on the particular facts and circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to argue that there are 'Special Reasons' associated with your particular offence. If upheld, this could allow you to limit the number of penalty points, shorten the length of any ban or even avoid disqualification completely.
Driving without a valid driving licence appropriate to that class of vehicle or driving with a provisional licence without the "appropriate person" being present and or displaying "L" plates is an offence under the Road Traffic Act. If found guilty of this you will be fined and receive either 3-6 penalty points or a discretionary ban.
Careless driving is becoming a more common charge featuring in the courts and can be found under Section 3 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. It will normally be alleged that you have been driving in a careless or inconsiderate manner or driving without due care and attention. It must be proved by the prosecution that your driving fell below the level expected of a careful and competent driver.
It is an offence to use or permit another person to use a vehicle without valid insurance in a public road or place. The penalty for doing so is a fine and 6-8 penalty points on your licence or a fine and a discretionary ban. Driving without insurance is a strict liability offence. This means that it is not a defence to say that you did not know you had no insurance.
