Fortitude Chambers understands how worrying it can be to face the prospect of losing your driving licence; it can have a negative impact on your employment, business and/or personal life. 

​

Our barristers are available at your convenience to provide assistance, advice, and court representation.

​

If you are accused of a road traffic offence you will need representation by a specialist with unrivalled experience and excellent knowledge of road traffic law. Our barristers act on a wide range of Road Traffic Act offences including:​

​

• Drink and drug driving;

• Speeding;

• Totting disqualifications (with an excellent record in making successful 'exceptional hardship' applications);

• Careless or dangerous driving;

• Using a mobile phone whilst driving;

• Causing death or serious injury;

• Failing to provide driver details;

• Failure to stop or report an accident; 

• No insurance or driving licence;

• Special reasons applications (informing the Court why, despite having committed the offence, you should not be penalised); and

• Appeals against conviction and/or sentence.

​

We offer fixed-fee representation for driving and motoring offences. The fee depends upon the type of charge and whether it will progress as a guilty-plea case or a not-guilty plea case where a Trial will be necessary. 

​

The fee includes:

 

• Obtaining instructions;

• Preparation;

• Attendance at Court;

• Requesting and considering the evidence in your case;

• Providing advice in relation to plea and likely sentence, including Ancillary Orders;

• Providing assistance in obtaining evidence and mitigating any penalties that the Court may impose; and

• Consideration of any exceptional hardship or special reasons arguments that should be made.
