Convictions for drink driving, speeding, or failing to notify
the police who was driving a car, are just a few ways of accumulating
unwelcome penalty points on your driving licence or ending up
with a driving ban. Many drivers, faced with a complex legal
situation, simply accept points on their licence, or just hope
for a short disqualification period. All too many driving offences
now carry imprisonment as a possible sentence too.
Road
Traffic law is a highly specialised and technical area of law,
and the Police or Crown Prosecution Service often fail to get
their cases right, which may provide a legal defence to a case
brought. Even where a charge is admitted or proved, it may be
possible to argue special reasons or exceptional hardship to
reduce or even allow no penalty to be levied.
So
think about what you would do without your licence? Would not
your work or social life be decimated by being chained to public
transport. Motoring insurance would certainly cost a great deal
more afterwards. What if you were sent to prison?
