Beyond driving under the influence and standard-of-driving offences, Killian advises on the wider range of road traffic prosecutions that can still carry serious consequences, including:
No insurance
These charges may carry mandatory disqualification periods and are treated seriously by the courts even where the lack of cover was inadvertent. Killian will ensure a robust defence is put to the court, which may result in no disqualification period.
No NCT and no tax
Offences relating to a vehicle's test and tax.
Driving without a valid licence
Including cases involving learner permits, provisional licences and disqualified driving.
Disqualification and restoration of driving licence
Advice on when and how you may apply to the court to have a disqualification lifted or reduced, and licence reinstatement applications once a disqualification period has ended.
These matters are sometimes treated as "minor", but a conviction still creates a criminal record and can have knock-on effects for employment, insurance premiums and travel. Killian makes sure clients understand the real consequences before deciding how to proceed.
