Motoring & Road Traffic Offence Solicitors

The loss of your driving licence isn’t just an inconvenience, it can be detrimental to your livelihood and can be incredibly disruptive for your family. At Broudie Jackson Canter, we understand the value of your driving licence, and we can help you if you’re faced with losing it.

Get in touch for expert advice

Our Criminal Law Solicitors have a decades-long history of representing clients who are facing motoring offence charges, helping them to secure the best outcome possible. Whether you’re facing charges of speeding, drink driving, failure to provide a sample, or even causing death by dangerous driving, we can advise you.

If you have been summoned to the court or invited for a voluntary interview by the police in relation to your motoring offence, call us immediately for expert legal advice.

We can offer advice and representation on the following offences:

  • Speeding
  • Driving without Due Care and Attention
  • Dangerous Driving
  • Drink/Drug Driving
  • Failing to Provide Sample
  • Causing Death by Careless/Dangerous Driving
  • Exceptional Hardship/Special Reasons argument to avoid disqualification

Driving offence experts

No matter how severe your driving offence may be, we can offer expert advise and help to protect your driving licence. It is important that you get in touch with us at your earliest convenience as some options, such as driver awareness courses, will not be made available to you once a court date has been set. Early contact with an expert motoring offence solicitor is imperative to securing the best possible outcome.

We have an excellent track record for helping people retain their driving licence, and in situations where a disqualification is ordered, we can help shorten that disqualification to get you back on the road as soon as possible.
