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

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.
