Motoring
You may know someone who in the last
12 months has faced prosecution for one or more of
the following:
- Speeding
- Contravening traffic lights
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Failing to provide a specimen of breath for analysis
- Driving without due care and attention
- Dangerous driving or death by dangerous driving
- Failing to stop or failing to report an accident
- Document offences, for example, no insurance, no
MOT, driving otherwise than in accordance with a
license
- Failing to furnish information to the police as
to the identity of the driver of an alleged offence.
In today's climate the prospect of losing one's license
is an ever-increasing danger.
Business Support
Motoring offences are not confined
to individuals. Businesses subject to prosecution may
also face serious repercussions to their finances and
reputation. Regulatory control in the use of vehicles
and the employees who drive those vehicles is complex
and ever-increasing.
Problem areas include:
- Construction and use regulations, faulty tyres,
brakes, over laden vehicles
- Tachograph offences
- Insecure loads
Private Criminal
Though we all hope that criminal proceedings
will never affect us, there may be circumstances when
you, members of your family or someone known to you
becomes involved in criminal matters and are faced
with the prospect of prosecution.
The consequences of prosecution can be devastating
both personally and commercially, especially when confronted
for the first time. Are you aware that the risk of
imprisonment is real?
If this happened what would you do? Who would you
turn to?
