How we can help you…

We are frequently instructed by clients regarding speeding allegations. You may work or live in the southern region of the UK concerning counties such as West and East Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire and South London but have been given a speeding ticket somewhere further North. If this is the case don’t stress as using barristers we are able to relocate courts and do most of the work online therefore making the process more convenient for you.

Our specialist barristers only deal with motoring law cases throughout England and Wales. Often clients will want to know whether the case they are facing has been undertaken in a procedurally correct way, perhaps there is a ‘loophole’ or ‘technicality’. Our barristers have vast experience and success in reviewing the case to see if there are any technical deficiencies.

Our HQ is in haywards heath Sussex and since we started the company the southern counties surrounding Sussex such as Surrey, Hampshire, South and West London have been where most of our clients have received speeding charges .But recently due to request, we have to expanded to taking cases in other regions such as Middlesex, Dorset, Thames Valley, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire etc.

This does not mean we cannot take your case and still provide you with excellent service if you are outside these regions however, if you are from these regions we can guarantee you a greater service than any other local solicitor.

M23Law provides handpicked specialist barristers who offer expert legal advice for speeding offences. Clients often refer their friends and family because of the successful outcomes we achieve, including mitigating penalties or having speeding prosecutions dismissed. So how can we help you or someone you know?

Defence points may include:

• Notice of intended prosecution (NIP) not sent within 14 days
• Necessary information not filed with the court in time
• Material inaccuracies
• Speed camera/detection device used in an incorrect way
• Speed limit not identifiable
• Opinion of only one uncorroborated witness

We might also consider exceptional reasons for the excess speed.

If you are within 2 years of passing your driving test, your driving licence may be revoked by the DVLA if you build up 6 or more penalty points. Our M23Law barristers are well versed in challenging the potential outcome and points of law generally.

Speeding & Failing to provide information of the driver

Penalties:

• £1,000 fine
• 6 penalty points or disqualification from driving

Failing to provide the information of the driver is an offence contrary to section 172(2) of the Road Traffic Act 1988. Where a driver of a vehicle is alleged to be guilty of an offence, the person keeping the vehicle shall give such information as to the identity of the driver as he may be required to give. And any other person shall, if required as stated above, give any information which is in his power to give and may lead to the identification of the driver.

Defence cases include:

• No notice was received; evidence of postal interruptions/difficulties, access difficulties to your address, mail theft
• Response was sent but not received by the police
• Notice forwarded to wrong keeper of the vehicle

Issues often arise where a Section 172 is sent to a company, with a fleet of vehicles and many drivers. This is one of our busiest areas of work and we are often contacted by small, medium or large companies to advise and assist.
