Can Driving Defences help if I am accused of driving without due care and attention and dangerous driving?

As with all offences it is for the prosecution to prove each and every element of the offence. With a careless driving charge, the police must show the standard of your driving fell below that of a prudent motorist. This offence carries a discretion to disqualify or 3 to 9 penalty points and a fine. With a charge of dangerous driving the test is for the prosecution to show your driving fell far below that what would be expected of a competent and careful driver and it would be obvious to this driver that driving in that way would be dangerous.

There is a fine line between careless driving and dangerous driving and therefore a solid professional defence should be constructed. Dangerous driving could result in a disqualification, 3 to 11 penalty points, an ordered driving re-test, two years imprisonment and a fine.

If you are accused of any such offence the help of professional solicitors will at best result in a not guilty result but should at least result in giving you some peace of mind when dealing with these serious charges.
