Not every road traffic matter involves alcohol or drugs. Killian regularly advises on:
Speeding prosecutions
Including cases where the accuracy or calibration of the speed detection device is in question, and penalty point appeals and their effect on your licence.
Careless driving charges
More serious than most penalty point offences, and can result in disqualification and a court record.
Dangerous driving charges
Among the most serious road traffic offences. They can be prosecuted summarily or on indictment, carrying significant penalties including lengthy automatic disqualification and imprisonment in the most serious cases.
Cases involving road traffic collisions
Where a careless or dangerous driving charge follows an accident, and where the interaction with insurance and civil claims needs careful handling.
For each of these, Killian assesses whether there's a route to having the charge dismissed or reduced, and whether a court appearance can be avoided altogether. Where the charge will proceed, he ensures careful consideration is given to each circumstance of the case so the best outcome is achieved.
