Few areas of law attract as much controversy or excite the emotions more than the complex field of motor transport regulation.

As individuals it is likely that at some stage in our motoring careers many of us will be prosecuted for at least one of the myriad offences on the statute books, whether it be for the relatively minor (although sometimes grave) offence of speeding, through to the more serious causing death by dangerous driving.

We appreciate that for the vast majority of people who find their driving under scrutiny, this will probably be the first (and last!) time that they come into contact with the criminal justice system. With that in mind we strive to deliver clear, plain English advice, and we make every effort to de-mystify the entire process. We never forget how important your licence is to you.

For the professional vehicle operator and driver the consequences of criminal or civil proceedings can be catastrophic. The potential for loss of business or livelihood is all too apparent. This is all too apparent, for example, in the complicated areas of tachograph and working time regulations. Breaches of these or any other rules or regulations could result in employer and employee standing together either in a courtroom dock, or before the Traffic Commissioner at a public enquiry.

Whether you find yourself before the magistrates, the Crown Court or the Traffic Commissioner we can provide expert advice as to all defences and mitigation, and skilled representation at any hearings.
