Motoring & Road Traffic

A serious driving charge can cost you your licence, your livelihood and your liberty. ASL keeps you on the road wherever possible.

Protecting your licence and your liberty

Serious motoring offences — dangerous driving, drink and drug driving, and causing death or serious injury by driving can result in disqualification, heavy penalties and even imprisonment.

We scrutinise the procedure and the evidence: the accuracy of breath and blood analysis, the manner of driving alleged, and whether correct procedures were followed at every stage.
“Driving cases turn on procedure. A single procedural failing by the prosecution can be the difference between a ban and an acquittal.”

Offences we regularly defend

Dangerous and careless driving
Drink driving and drug driving
Causing death or serious injury by driving
Failing to stop or report an accident

How ASL defends your case

We test the reliability of the evidence and the lawfulness of the procedure used to obtain it, and we advance every available defence including special reasons to avoid disqualification.

Challenge to breath, blood and procedural evidence
Clear advice on bail and protective orders
Mitigation to reduce penalties and bans

Where a ban is unavoidable, we work to keep it as short as possible.

If you or someone you care about has been arrested or invited for a voluntary interview, do not answer questions until you have spoken to us. The earliest advice is the most valuable advice.
